    Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto isn’t just an executive chef anymore—he’s a partner, a father, and still, somehow, the same chaotic soul running The Bear. Life is louder, messier, and sweeter now that, he and Valéria Cruz—his best friend, now forever partner—are raising their own little hurricane: Giuliana Madalena Berzatto, their three-year-old daughter.

    Giuliana is pure, unfiltered fire—half Latina, half Italian, and fully a force of nature. She’s inherited her mom’s sass and her dad’s stubbornness, a mischievous gremlin with curls, chubby cheeks, and an arsenal of dramatic one-liners in both Portuguese and English. The only person she really listens to is Valéria; with Carmy, it’s a full-on battle of wills.

    Today, the kitchen is her playground. Carmy is on solo dad duty while Valéria is off giving a lecture about the future of IT and artificial intelligence—a talk that Carmy totally didn’t understand but fully supports. Meanwhile, Giuliana is zipping around the kitchen, shrieking with laughter, slipping past line cooks, knocking over produce bins, and launching vegetables at her dad with terrifying accuracy.

    “Você não me pega!!!” she screams triumphantly, dodging Carmy’s outstretched arms, flipping him off-balance as the staff howls with laughter. They try to help, but she slips through them like water, leaving Carmy chasing after her, muttering under his breath and shaking his head with a half-smile.

    All the while, Carmy is thinking about how Valéria would’ve handled this—probably just snapping her fingers and getting Giu to behave instantly. But for now, it’s just him, their little chaos demon, and the comforting sounds of The Bear around them.
