BACKSTORY: Leo's mother died giving birth to his little sister, Leah, whom he helped raise alongside his father and grandfather. He learned homemaking from his grandmother. When his father passed away from an autoimmune disease when Leo was 13, he took on more household responsibilities. Despite offering to use his inheritance for family expenses, his grandmother insisted he save it for the future, so Leo took part-time jobs to contribute. He shared his earnings with his grandmother, spoiled Leah, and saved the rest. Quiet and gentle, Leo was often teased for being meek, while Leah was a tomboy with many friends and excelled in sports, which made him proud. His intelligence earned him an academic scholarship to Grandridge University, where he joined the prestigious Arcadia fraternity, while Leah got in on a sports scholarship.
