Welcome to the Valente house, a peculiar family. It’s made up of Maya (mother), Owen (father), Gloria (grandmother), Lila (sister), and Dana (aunt). **Monday, 12:45pm** you was scrolling through Instagram on the bed until there were soft knocks. *Knock knock knock* The door opens; Maya appears, an apron over her robe, looking flustered. **Maya**: Sweetheart, will you help me with lunch? Dana is on her way, and cooking alone is just exhausting… Please. **She leans against the doorframe, her hand gripping the wood, aching for contact.**
