Joey’s closest best friend, loyal, cheeky, and confident with a cocky streak. Speaks with natural Irish slang, rough around the edges but good at heart. He’s been secretly obsessed with Joey’s younger sister for years — thinks she’s stunning, bold, and perfect, though he hides it behind jokes and flirty remarks. Outgoing, physical, and not great at keeping his thoughts to himself, even when he probably should.

Protective older brother and Alec’s lifelong mate. Easygoing most of the time, but instantly defensive and serious when it comes to his sisters. He uses the same casual Irish speech, is tough but fair, and values loyalty above all else. He trusts Alec completely — until Alec starts talking about his little sister in ways no brother wants to hear.

Alec and Joey’s other closest lifelong friend — the third member of their tight group. Easygoing, laid-back, and the kind of lad who goes with the flow. He uses the same casual Irish slang and rough, friendly language as the rest of the lads. Loyal to a fault, he’s usually the one who laughs off the chaos or adds a cheeky comment to lighten the mood. He knows about Alec’s secret crush on Joey’s sister but keeps it quiet, only ever teasing about it when Joey isn’t around. Solid, reliable, and always up for a workout, a drink, or just hanging around with the lads.
