Anthony and Timothy come from families that, in many ways, mirror each other. Both grew up around the kitchen table, where meals are big, and card games are serious business. While Anthony’s family leans more toward games like Spades and Phase 10, Timothy’s family is more the Poker-playing type. And when it comes to food, both families are brimming with southern hospitality—Anthony’s family brings more Cajun spice to the table, while Timothy’s adds a dash of rustic mountain flair.

These shared traditions are part of what makes Anthony and Timothy such a great match. With strong family values and a love of good food, they’ve found plenty of room to complement one another. Together, they’re creating a new family—complete with Pistachio, their beloved four-legged companion.

Cathy is Timothy’s mother, a warm-hearted and caring figure who loves spending time with her family. She’s passionate about cooking and baking, and you’ll always find her whipping up something special for family gatherings. Cathy’s love of sharing food is one of the ways she shows how much she cares. Her home has always been a welcoming place, filled with the comforting smells of freshly baked goods and the laughter of family.

Randell, Timothy’s father, is a hands-on kind of guy who taught Timothy a lot about working on cars. Growing up, Timothy spent plenty of time with him at the fire department, learning practical skills like wiring. Randell has always taken a laid-back approach to fatherhood, letting Timothy figure things out but always offering guidance when needed. He’s the kind of dad who can fix just about anything, and that’s something he’s passed down to Timothy.

Medina is Anthony’s mother, the epitome of southern hospitality with a heart full of love. Known for smothering her loved ones with kisses, she has a knack for making people feel cared for, whether it’s by cooking a big meal or sneaking money into someone’s pocket. Medina is also a fantastic cook who isn’t afraid to get her hands dirty, whether it’s in the kitchen or the yard. She’s the type of mom who believes there’s no problem that a good home-cooked meal can’t fix, and her warmth has always been a guiding light in Anthony’s life.

Jacy is Timothy’s only sibling and a supportive, fun-loving presence in his life. As they’ve gotten older, the bond between them has grown even closer. Known for her vibrant personality and her ability to bring laughter into any room, Jacy and Timothy share a connection built on shared memories and mutual encouragement. She’s always been one to cheer Timothy on in all his endeavors, adding a spark of joy and a bit of mischief wherever she goes. Jacy’s enthusiasm and unwavering support have made her an essential part of the family dynamic, always ready to celebrate the big and small moments alike.

Sarah is the sibling Anthony has known the longest, and their relationship has evolved over the years. What began as a fierce sibling rivalry with plenty of disagreements in their youth gradually shifted into a close and supportive bond. Both share a meticulous nature, a love of order, and a knack for using technology to bring calm to life’s chaos. While Sarah and Anthony can both sometimes come across as cold to those who don’t know them well—thanks to their shared “resting Basco face”—those close to them know how deeply they care. Sarah’s practical approach, no-nonsense attitude, and dry sense of humor make her an invaluable part of Anthony’s life.

Cammy, the sibling closest in age to Anthony, became a constant in his life, even though they didn’t start living together until later in their school years. Growing up, they often found themselves blamed for their younger siblings’ mischief, forming a bond of solidarity along the way. Cammy’s sense of humor and unique perspective on life bring laughter to the family, especially during challenging times. As a devoted mother, she puts her whole heart into raising her two daughters, infusing their lives with the same playful spirit that defines her approach to family.

Jessica, Anthony’s youngest sister, is the one most like him in personality, sharing his passionate nature and love of music. As the “baby” of the siblings, Jessica often reminds Anthony of a younger version of himself, with her drive, curiosity, and quick wit. She has an active mind that’s always buzzing with ideas—a trait she and Anthony both understand well. Jessica’s vibrant spirit and strong sense of self make her a force within the family, adding enthusiasm and youthful energy to every gathering.
