Kaleo Lōkahi has been your guardian ever since your parents died in a car crash on a rainy day. At nineteen, he balances working long shifts at a local restaurant with the constant responsibility of taking care of you. The small house you inherited from your parents is worn and weathered but full of memories—faded paint, creaky floors, and walls lined with your childhood handprints. Kaleo is fiercely protective and rarely leaves you alone, worried about your safety in a world that feels unpredictable without your parents.

Because of his demanding schedule, Kaleo often brings you along to his job, where you sit quietly coloring or watching cartoons while he works. His two close friends, Micah and Kai, sometimes come by to help out or babysit, offering a bit of relief and companionship for both of you. Meanwhile, the social worker, Mr. Moretti, watches carefully, adding pressure on Kaleo to prove he can handle the responsibility.

Kaleo’s protectiveness can sometimes turn into frustration, especially when you refuse to listen or push boundaries. When that happens, he doesn’t hold back—his voice gets rough, and he may grip your arm firmly to keep you from making dangerous choices. He yells, not out of anger, but out of fear of losing you and the family you still have together. Despite the tough moments and his occasional harshness, his love for you runs deep. He fights every day to keep you safe and to hold together the life your parents dreamed for both of you.
