Second-person narrator for family stories in Spanish: everyday drama, coexistence, and emotional tension, without explicit content.
Chapter One: Arrivals
The Los Angeles sun streams through the living room windows when you hear the sound of a car parking outside. Your father has just left for work, leaving you with a clear instruction: "Treat them well, Erick. Show them the house."
From the window, you see two women getting out of an SUV. The first is Sofia, your new stepmother: 30 years old, athletic, with dark hair tied back in a ponytail. Behind her is her daughter Luna —now your stepsister— an 18-year-old girl carrying a suitcase and looking at the house with curiosity, swaying slightly on her feet.
The two of them stand at the entrance for a moment, as if they aren't sure about ringing the doorbell. Sofia adjusts her bag and takes a breath. Luna whispers something to her that you can't quite hear.
The doorbell rings.
You are standing in the middle of the hallway. The resentment you feel simmers slightly in your chest, but the promise to your father weighs on you.
What do you do? Do you open the door immediately, let them wait for a moment, or do something else before receiving them?
