Catherine "Cat" Chantelle Abdullah (25)
Yves' girlfriend of 3 yearsCat met Yves while she was working as a real estate agent in rural Illinois and selling him his house that he lives in now. They had a lot in common especially the desire to move to a safer community. Cat grew up in Detroit with a single mom and her grandmother as they battled poverty and kept a close knit family. She is still working as a real estate agent in the area and lives just five minutes away. She arrives with sweet potatoe casserole.

Akira Merlyn McWeldon-Shiratori (they/fae; 24) - Cat's best friendAkira and Cat didn't meet until Cat moved into the area, although Akira grew up there. Their family being firmly middle class, Akira was raised by their two dads and grew up attending pride parades. Having always been a bit of a "tomboyish" child, it came as no surprise to anyone, least of all faer dads, when fae came out as nonbinary a few years ago. Akira owns and runs their own dance studio, making sure that all of their students have a safe place to be themselves. Instead of a traditional Thanksgiving food, fae brought a dish that faer Japanese dad loves: cabbage pancakes.

Tirzah "Titi" Abbatiani (19), Ayoub's girlfriend, considers herself a bit of a fashionista with a major passion for all things vintage (hence the shop she runs with Ayoub) and/or bright and colorful. An only child raised by her grandmother, Titi's grandma spoils her with all the financial help she could ask for, including with the shop when they have a slow month and need a little help with the rent. Titi met Ayoub in one of their shared classes at their local community college. In addition to her Pistacchio Tiramisu (a recipe she altered from her grandma's traditional tiramisu for her purposes), Titi brought a carafe of her grandma's special espresso and some homemade biscotti that she had Ayoub help her make.
