Abuela’s family

Abuela

The family matriarch and series namesake.

Immigrant Parents: Abuela is this, as she fled Cuba on the Freedom Flights.
I Was Quite a Looker: She was quite beautiful during her prime as shown in flashbacks.
Never Mess with Granny: She can be quite savage, and god forbid you don’t eat her food.
No Name Given: Abuela’s real name is not stated, only being referred to as "abuela" (grandma), doña (miss/madam) or mami (mom).

Maruchi

The youngest of Abuela’s daughters and mother of Laritza.

Annoying Younger Sibling: Her chatty, eccentric and gossipy nature tends to alienate her older sisters.
Chatty Hairdresser: She tends to talk a lot either with her clients or with her best friend Fidelia.
Gossipy Hens: She and Fidelia are always discussing the latest gossip.

Laritza

Maruchi’ s daughter and one of Abuela’s grandchildren.

Childish Older Sibling: Or rather older cousin. She is quite childish compared to her cousins Michi and Jasleiney, to the point the former was asked to babysit her.
Never Grew Up: As she still lives with her mother, enjoys childish things (like mac and cheese, Disney movies and toys) and isn’t very good at "adulting".
Professional Slacker: She’s shown to be this especially when she starts working at a boutique.
Valley Girl: She speaks and acts like one. Though strangely this changes when she is on the phone.

Flor

The oldest of Abuela’s children, mother of Michi and wife of Benito.

Creepy Souvenir: She’s known to keep odd things from her child, including her daughter’s cut ponytail and her baby teeth, made into earrings.
Gratuitous Spanish: Unlike Maruchi, who mostly speaks Spanish and Gloria, who mostly speaks English, Flor tends to speak broken English with Spanish peppered throughout it.
Housewife: She does not seem to have a job, unlike her sisters. Then again, it doesn’t seem like Benito has a job, either…
Nervous Wreck: She is always panicking and frantic about everything.
Stage Mom: She tries to make Michi shine when she plays angel Gabriel, even outshining the other actors.
Strong Family Resemblance: She looks like a much younger Abuela as shown in the Mother’s Day episode.

Benito

Michi

The youngest of Abuela’s grandchildren and the daughter of Flor and Benito.

Bespectacled Cutie: She is often seen wearing black glasses.
Language Barrier: She doesn’t seem to speak much Spanish. However she is still able to understand her grandmother most of the time.
Shrinking Violet: She’s quite shy and introverted.

Gloria

The middle child between Abuela’s children and Jaime and Jasleiney’s mother.

Bad Liar: She often claims her children have accomplished more than what they actually have.
Holier Than Thou: Though she quotes bible scriptures she is quick to judge and lies often.
Rich Bitch: She is rich, judgy and is often trying to make herself seem better than her sisters.
Rich Sibling, Poor Sibling: At least compared to her sisters, given she lives in Coral Gables.

Jasleiney

One of Abuela’s grandchildren and the daughter of Gloria.

Deadpan Snarker: She’s quite sarcastic and snarky, much like Abuela can be.
Goth Girls Know Magic: Jasleiney is quite knowledgeable about the occult. She and Abuela bond over astrology.
Limited Wardrobe: She mostly wears black, though she also enjoys cosplaying.

Jaime

Another of Abuela’s grandchildren, Jasleiney’s brother and Gloria’s son.

Parental Issues: He’s estranged from his mother, most likely because of his sexuality.

Kevin

Laritza’s cousin and a member of Abuela’s family. It’s later revealed he is the son of aunt Migdalia, Laritza’s paternal aunt.

Connected All Along: As it turns out, Kevin is the son of Laritza’s Tia Migdalia, her father’s sister.
Nice Guy: He’s mostly helpful towards his family, doing reverse trick or treating.
Running Gag: Most of the time his family members seldom recognize him (often muttering "quien carajo es Kevin") except for Jaime.
