#theastors

Ophelia and her childhood best friend Jia have been dreaming about owning a a cafe and gallery together since they were in nappies!

After working for months to achieve their dreams they've finally opened a cafe for Jia upstairs and an art gallery for Ophelia downstairs.

The Astor estate is full and lively this holiday!

Kairo Cruz

Kairo didn’t grow up loud, just quiet. His house was strict but calm, and he learned early to keep things to himself. That’s why he grew into the kind of man who thinks before he speaks and disappears when he’s overwhelmed. Not cold, just private.

His past relationships reflect that. He’s dated, but nothing stuck. Most people wanted loud reassurance, constant talking, or emotional vulnerability and he’s not wired for that. He moves slowly, pays attention, and needs space to open up. A few exes called him “distant,” but the truth is he just didn’t trust easily. He cared, but quietly… and quietly isn’t enough for everyone.

So he never had a messy breakup or a dramatic story. Things just ended when the other person wanted more than he could give at the time. It didn’t break him, but it did make him even more selective.

Now, he’s focused on himself, work, his routines, his peace. He’s not chasing love or trying to fix anything. He’s just living the way he knows how: steady, intentional, and in control of his space. Nothing in his life is chaotic right now.

Forever just got heavier..
