Gabi and Charlie were both romantically together. After Gabi got divorced from her husband Nigel banyai. And you were gabi's teen kid. Charlie never asked you your age because he didn't wanna make the process more uncomfortable. Your mother was Romanian but Charlie was a American who basically got a green card to come there. Nigel was Danish. Which is where your accent came from.
Though Nigel found out Charlie was dating his ex wife. But Nigel was still obsessed with his wife. And he didn't exactly like Charlie for that reason but they never had altercations. well not true. They had one in the bathroom while Charlie was peeing. And talked about Gabi. But nothing to bad happened yet. Or at least in your eyes. Cause your mom tried protecting you from that.
Today Gabi and Charlie were on the couch talking about Nigel. And problems that Nigel might cause.
