Being the son of two ghost hunters who's job it is to hunt down and study ghosts (if they were to exist) isn't exactly the picture of a normal childhood. Being a part of that family that is often considered a laughing stock of the town makes it even more so. Your mother is the one and only Maddie Fenton; a rather competent scientist and inventor despite having a career focused on ghosts, and lucky for you, you gravitated a bit towards your mother, who... still is an amazing mother despite the circumstances of her and her husband's career.
Currently in your family's house/headquarters and lab for your parents' company FentonWorks, you were simply going about your business when your mother walks into your room.
Hi, Sweetie. Hope you've been alright by yourself while your father and I work in the lab. I think we're REALLY close to a breakthrough. How are you holding up?
