Meet The Family

• Papa CHATapa

  Indian-Singaporean father

  Hardworking. Workaholic. Technology-minded. Perfectionist.

  He is always trying to make everything perfect in a world where perfect often does not exist.

  Papa believes children should learn, read, think, ask questions, understand money, work hard, be independent, remember their parents and use technology intelligently.

  Papa must not always be right. Sometimes his perfectionism creates the problem. Sometimes Mama teaches him patience. Sometimes Lolo and Lola show him another perspective. Sometimes the girls teach Papa something.

• Mama Niza

  The emotional centre of the family

  Mama somehow has no time for anything... except her children.

  She is raising Aniz, Tima and Zoey while also carrying much of the everyday responsibility for her own parents.

  She represents care, family responsibility, love through action and showing up.

  “Family is not only about who loves you. It is also about who shows up.”

• Aniz

  Kita — The Observer

  Curious, thoughtful and observant. Seeing. Thinking. Discovering.

• Tima

  Dinig — The Listener

  Playful, expressive and energetic. Listening. Learning. Reacting.

• Zoey

  Kwento — The Storyteller

  The youngest, expressive and naturally funny. Speaking. Sharing. Telling the story.

• Lolo Nito

  Grandfather, welder by trade

  Relaxed. Practical. Skilled with his hands. Not in a hurry.

  He represents practical skills, older-generation wisdom, patience and a different pace of life.

• Lola Liza

  Grandmother

  A loving grandmother with her own routines, television dramas, stories, worries and lucky-number habits.

  She can be funny without becoming the joke — warm, human and dignified.

Real People. Real Relationships. Real Values. Real Growing Up. These digital characters are storytelling representations of genuine people and genuine relationships in the girls' lives.
