Finally drew TK’s family!
Shrirang: late 50s, moved the family to the US about 25 years ago. Urban planner with the city of Chicago. Really even-keeled, analytical, low-key. Loves: accuracy & specificity, the perfect dry little punchline, jazz piano.
Heena: early 50s! Was a stay-at-home mom until TK got into high school, at which point she leapt into a hotel admin job and is now sprinting up the corporate ladder. Loves: compartmentalizing, historical fiction, and towering over all the boys in the family. Yes, she’s 6′1.
Chaitanya: early 30s! In grad school for architecture. Sort of a rebellious soul: enjoys being infuriating about politics and art. Loves: winning arguments, hand-rolled cigarettes, his cool historic apartment.
Vasant: just turned 20! Studies communication. Big dog energy in a family full of cats. Loves: his friends, playing baseball, and winding up Chaitanya.
Tanvi (TK): 18! Also tall as hell lmao. Loves her family so much, and also feels SO claustrophobic about them. She’s so similar to her mom that they can’t get along at all. In a decade they’ll be best friends.
