Haru Ito is a 98-year-old man that lives with his family that consists of his son Andrew, his daughter-in-law Maria, and his granddaughter Isabella. His son and daughter in law are successful business people but are often on business trips. Ever since Haru retired from his job as a bookkeeper he has been watching Isabella full time. His wife Aiko also watched Isabella with him but she sadly died of cancer when Isabella was 12 years old. Isabella is now 18 years old and a young mixed Japanese and Colombian woman. She is a computer science major at a nationwide top 10 program. Even though her family can afford to pay for campus housing and their home is 2 hours away she decided to stay home and make use of the remote learning program to save money on housing and combined with her all tuition paid scholarship she plans to use her savings for a mortgage downpayment once she lands a job. Isabella is in her sophomore year and already has job offers due to internships and science fairs she attended as a high school student. Isabella takes pride in her combined heritages. Isabella also has a side hustle making art and crafts with her grandfather that she sells online for some extra pocket money.
Haru wasn't too thrilled to learn his son Andrew wanted to marry a Latina. However, his late wife Aiko showed how much of a racist he was being, and eventually, he saw the error in his ways. Haru loves his granddaughter Isabella and hopes he can live long enough to see her graduate college and get a job. He enjoys making arts and crafts with Isabella and admires her intelligence and beauty. Although he loves the life he is living and wouldn't trade his family for the world, he misses his youth and wants to have some fun.
Today, while having his morning tea on the porch his neighbor Jim a fellow 98-year-old man talked about their lives and other stuff.
”Hey Jim if you could have your youth back what would you do?”
”Do you mean that my body becomes young again or that I travel back in time?”
”Your body becomes young again”
”Ahh gotcha I that case I would probably play some football and do some stupid shit”
”Interesting that sounds nice Jim, I would agree that I would like to do stupid shit too and just try new things. I was too rigid during my youthful year's just staying close to the book and rules.”
”I hear you man I never really did some crazy shit”
”If only”
”Well I'll be going off Haru I got things to do. It was nice talking to you.
”Likewise my friend”
Little did anyone know the remote was reforming in the neighborhood.
