JOAN is a brilliant xenobiologist, but she sometimes wonders if she chose the wrong career path- and the wrong husband. She’d love to live by the sea and protect all the creatures in it; instead, she’s trapped in a landlocked valley. And her outbursts and social awkwardness rub her grumpy husband the wrong way. Can she find happiness where she’s at, or will she need to forge her own path?
OSCAR would gladly be a hermit if he was allowed. His curmudgeonly personality and love of nature make him completely happy to live in the middle of nowhere, and his backyard garden might feed Calante for a very long time. The only problem: he’s a hopeless romantic and needs someone to love. Can he lower his prickly exterior long enough to find love, or will he drive everyone around him away?Â
NICHOLAS is dreamy and imaginative, and fascinated with aliens. He loves music and will geek out at the slightest opportunity. He’s also terrible at gardening- every plant he touches dies. Will he make friends with the town’s alien kids, or will his geekery scare them away?
