i’m glad that they’re normal i wasn’t looking for a lot of family drama but that’s easy to work with! i think i will make her the daughter of the dad’s sister if that is okay! i kind o want to make her dad from another state originally and moved to college in la and that is how he ended up meeting the mom and getting married and i think they originally lived back in the dad’s home state for a while and maisie was born there but moved back to la when she was maybe a freshman in high school cause either the mom or the dad got a job offer! this was a run on sentence from hell i am so sorry i’m just kind of thinking out loud! but we can definitely say that they got closer once she moved to la since they were now near the moms family whereas before they were near the dad’s family
