Natalia and Gabriella are sisters, less than three years apart, who grew up inseparable. They played violin and guitar together, traveled the world with their family, and cheered each other on—literally—when Gabriella was on the cheerleading team and Natalia was on the dance team in high school.

Over the years, they’ve remained just as close, especially with Natalia living only 45 minutes from Alameda. Over the past five years, Alex and Natalia have also formed a great bond, from Disneyland trips to celebrating every big milestone together. Through it all, Natalia has been one of our biggest supporters—and, of course, the best dog aunt to Chuy!

Chris and Alex are first cousins and have been close since day one—literally, as Chris is just four months older. They grew up together playing at their grandparents’ house, going to sports games, and hitting water parks. Their shared love for finance and economics ensures they’re never short on conversation. Despite living far apart, they’ve always had each other’s backs. When Chris visits the Bay Area or Alex heads to SoCal, they make the most of their time catching up and double-dating with Gabriella and Chris’ girlfriend, Ivy.
