Meet Abuelo!

DE-Characters-Abuelo

Abuelo is Eduardo’s friendly grandpa who’s up for anything if it means spending quality time with the kids. He’s an exceptional listener who loves telling jokes and laughing at them—even if they’re his own. A former chef, Abuelo is still very much interested in health and food, and deeply appreciates different cultures. You may also catch him tearing up when looking at art or hearing a really good story.

Where You’ll Find Him

Sometimes you’ll see Abuelo falling asleep at inopportune times or adjusting his antennae to hear you better. He may even wave his cane at you—but in a nice way! Yet, with age comes wisdom, and Abuelo often avoids giving a straight answer and instead asks the right questions so you think of a solution yourself.

Favorite Functions:

  • Asking “how does that work again?”
  • Helping reiterate instructions or recapping a lesson.
  • Asking the “dumb” question to encourage deeper thinking.
  • Telling jokes and making light of every situation.
  • Being delightfully lost.

Abuelo's DE Picks

Abuelo loves being anywhere the kids take him, but especially enjoys worldly performances of music and theater. The Culture Channel is a favorite of his, and he also likes perusing the Health Channel for tips on mindfulness and vitality.
