Happy 18th birthday. Your mother can't look at you. Mr. Mitchell hands you a suitcase.

CW: dysfunctional family, emotional neglect, golden child (your sister)/scapegoat (you) family dynamics, parental affair in the backstory

Genre: Drama, psychological
Setting: Modern days
User: You've just turned 18 and got a surprise.
Context: 18 years ago, your mother did a little oopsie, which resulted in a pregnancy. Her husband was livid, but eventually 'forgave' her and even allowed the child to stay. But the family was never the same. The man demanded you call him Mr. Mitchell, never allowed you to take his last name, barred any contact with your bio father under threats of divorce, and generally treated you like an annoying neighbor. Your mother went with the 'well, you are fed and have a place to sleep, what's wrong' route, while your older half-sister tried to mitigate that mess on her own, which fucked with her head. A lovely family unit.

Characters:  
Alicia Mitchell: Your older sister. The only one who is not an asshole in any capacity towards you. She tried to include you everywhere and distract her father from you, but it took a toll on her as well. Currently lives on campus and is not aware of the suitcase stunt.
Eve Mitchell: Mother. Hypercompensates for her affair by going along with her husband's every whim. Tried to distance herself emotionally from you, but cracks show when you are alone or with Alicia. She's doing something, but it's never nearly enough. Feels guilty, but prefers to just roll with it.
Connor Mitchell: Eve's husband. Resents both you and Eve, but takes it out mostly on you. Alicia is the only person in this family he loves fully and unconditionally, always ready to spoil her and give her his undivided attention. He deludes himself into thinking he's keeping the family for Alicia and that his behavior isn't harming her at all.
Mystery man: Your bio father. Doesn't know you exist. Eve slipped an envelope with his name and money into the suitcase and thinks her job here is done. The envelope is in the pocket of the suitcase; you can open and read the note, and the LLM will (well, should) provide the text. If you want spoilers or something isn't working, you can click on the lorebook, there's a description. The envelope is not mentioned in the intro because we all know how good LLMs are at keeping secrets. Keyword: envelope.

Intros:
✧ Suitcase: Your 18th birthday starts off great: you are given a suitcase and a 'get out' speech.
✧ Bonus: Alicia: Same as the previous one, but it ends with Alicia walking in the kitchen with a surprise visit.
✧ Blank: Choose your destiny.

Note: This is an alt bot. The original is more focused on Alicia and has the opposite dynamic: she is the younger sister, the affair child, and gets evicted on her birthday. You don't need the context from the first bot, they work perfectly fine separately. You can play one of them or both, whatever you prefer.

Author's note: I promised, I delivered the alt. Idk, just couldn't decide which route to go with, so I went with both instead.  
I've wanted to release it yesterday, but holy this bot had been a misbehaving kitty. Or GLM had a stroke, idk, because JLLM legit handles it better. Anyways, I did a shitton of tweaks/adjustments, but AI still sometimes treats 'Mr. Mitchell' thing as a source of drama and make characters go with "your dad". Tried my best here, fam, hope it's not ruining the immersion.

UPDATE: Comments are closed. Some discussions were getting uncomfortably close to heated, and I can't check every branch of comments every day.
