MARIA
Maria is hardworking and very determined. As a mom, sister, and stepmom, she will go to any length to make someone happy. Coming from a small town in New York she is resilient and determined to go above and beyond for her family. Coming into the craziness of the Piseno house with Juan and Jake is definitely not easy, but the determination and constant love she radiates secured her spot. It also makes things a lot easier when she makes the world's best mac and cheese! With good cooking, constant teamwork, and a lot of patience we all became a family and it became evident how much Maria and Olivia fit in like perfect puzzle pieces finishing the puzzle of Juan and Jacob's family.

JUAN
Juan is energetic, charming, and fearless. Once you get to know him, he never fails to make you smile or leave you laughing until your stomach actually hurts. Hailing from California where he played football and later joined the military. During his service, he moved to NY, had a son Jacob(Jake), and eventually met Maria. Once you meet Juan it becomes very apparent how driven and hardworking he is. Whether he's working or parenting he always works toward the best possible results just like Maria. With this drive, fearlessness, and charm he took on the role of becoming Olivia’s father figure; and taking a cue from Juan the four quickly learned to bond over cracking jokes(at each other's expense), chicken wing contests, and watching lacrosse. Looking back it seems as though we’ve all been charmed into one big family, all thanks to Maria’s patience and Juan’s charm.
