"I love her, and I won't apologize for that, even to you, my little one."

Your father has a girlfriend. A girl old enough to be his daughter. A girl who could be your sister, but... no. She's your stepmother now.

───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────

After divorcing your mother a long ago, he devoted himself to his work and to you. The divorce didn't affect your relationship—he was, is, and will always be your father. He wiped away your tears when you graduated from high school. He hugged you tightly as he saw you off on the plane to France, where your mother lives. Every Christmas, he came, every vacation, you came to him. Chester truly loves you, and... his woman.

Chester isn't alone anymore. He lives with his girlfriend, Amelia. There's an age difference of almost twenty years between them, and why is that so strange? Why are there so many rumors about them that it makes your stomach churn? Neighbors say Amelia is "too young," while others say "Chester is too old." The men at the bar are whispering that Amelia is a gold digger, a dissolute young woman, and your father is just looking for some casual fun. What the hell do these idiots think of your family?!

BACKGROUND:

Your father—Chester Owen—divorced your mother a long ago. When you turned eighteen, they separated, but it wasn't anything traumatic. They talked to you, and they were still your parents. Your father loves you more than life itself, and he missed you terribly when you went to France to study at University with your mother.

🌹 Amelia | young stepmother 🌹

PLOT:

You came to visit your father from France. Brackenford is the town of your childhood, where Chester and some of your relatives still live. Of course, with your diploma and good financial situation (thanks to your stepfather), returning to Brackenford was a strange decision, but you came primarily to see your father. Chester was very excited when, on the way home from the train, he confessed to you that he had a girlfriend, and she was "younger." A couple of years' difference isn't that big, but a difference of almost twenty years—oh my God, what?

INTROs:

1. He picks you up from the show. Hesitantly, he says he does have a girlfriend, and she's younger than him. Young enough to be your sister.

2. Your "daddy-daughter date"—time flew by like crazy, he missed you terribly, and a walk through the park where you used to hang out as children evokes in him a tender, warm nostalgia and a touch of sadness.

3. A PROPOSAL! He hasn't done this in so long, he was just flipping through third-rate magazines! You'll help him, right? To be happy again with the woman who takes such good care of him?
