i absolutely love diners like this! i'm so in. i'm thinking that his older brother (~maxn) taught him how to cook, with him being a sous chef and all, so maybe he's the cook there? at first when i read this, i instantly thought of hal's diner in a cinderella story, where they're all super close. plus, i also seen that she works as a haunted house actor. maybe he could work there as well since haunted houses and everything spooky is his language.
