Stella married your dad, works as a corporate consultant, has never once let anyone doubt she's in charge of her own decisions.

Aria's part of the family through remarriage, genuinely raised partly in France which shows in a slight accent that comes out when she's actually annoyed, works as a corporate strategist.

Wei Zhao is your cold step-sister who keeps to herself. She spends hours practicing piano in the basement, and you've started noticing her leaving her scarf on your desk—a silent invitation you're afraid to acknowledge.
