Rivera family in 2020
(No idea if anybody thought on this before, but, anyway...)
Santa Cecilia alternates between complete lock down and moderate lock down. Nobody knows anything. Some people act normally while others go paranoid.
The shoe store operates, but clients are required to wear masks and disinfect their hands.
The family are doing their best to craft shoes from outlines and measurements sent by the clients via text or mail.
Elena and Franco are forbidden from accessing the store (old age - high risk). Elena starts to carry a rug and a disinfectant instead of a chancla and cleans everything she can.
Socorro is confined to the family compound (Protect the baby!).
Manny and Benny are confined to the family compound. The adults are taking turns home-schooling them.
Miguel and Rosa are taking online classes, to the extend it is possible. Rosa is freaking out about the possibility of having to graduate high school in the pandemic.
Abel was never going to study beyond high school, since he's inheriting the shoe shop, so he's done with the education system.
Gloria volunteered as the "contact with outside world person", and she gets things done outside the compound when needed.
More on extended family (my head canons):
Franco's older brother dies. Due to the pandemic, they can't even have a normal funeral. Riveras are devastated. Since then, Enrique, Berto and Gloria become extra vigilant with their parents.
Franco becomes even more quiet than usual. Then, after a while, begins to write down letters for his children and grandchildren, so they'll have something to remember him by if he gets the virus. It makes him especially sad thinking Socorro is not going to have any memories of him, when all of his other grandchildren do.
Carmen is worried sick about her mother. Carmen's brother is constantly telling her he's got everything under control, but that does little to ease her worries. She wants to send Abel over to help. Abel himself is eager to go, since living with only two relatives is starting to seem like a leisure cruise in comparison to living in a house full of relatives.
Luisa is torn between the desperate need to protect her parents and the desperate need to protect her children. Her parents tell her to, by all means, keep Miguelito and Coquito in the Rivera compound, since it's already their safe zone with familiar germs and all, and not worry about them. ("It's the parents' job to worry about their children, Mija, not the other way round.").
Miguel volunteers to move in with his maternal grandparents. He can take his online classes from anywhere, and he is almost an adult, and he cannot stand to see so much of his family worried (and sharing a computer with Rosa while the Internet is less than reliable is becoming increasingly annoying). Also, in case the worst was to happen, he wants to create a detailed record of his maternal relatives (more detailed than he already has, anyway - one can never be too cautious.).
Luisa's sister Lucia is high risk due to her job as a psychiatrist. She switches to online consultations to the extent it is possible, but many patients still come see her face-to-face. Lucia thus decides to refrain from direct contact with her family, so not to put them in danger. Luisa calls her often, only to be told that "I'm talking to people all day long, with hardly enough time to go to the toilet, so please, let me have some !@#$%^ peace and quiet!" (Luisa's parents get the same message, albeit without the "!@#$%^".).
