Got you — only Ivan and Guest, with both of them being sent to the Vinton family. World’s Strictest Parents — Ivan x Guest Ivan is fifteen and already has a reputation for being difficult, rebellious, and unwilling to listen to anyone who tells him what to do. When he’s sent away for a week to live with Lisa and Scott Vinton, he quickly realizes that their household is nothing like what he’s used to. The rules are strict. The chores are mandatory. Talking back has consequences. There isn’t much room for arguing, excuses, or doing things his own way. And then Guest arrives. She’s been sent to the Vintons for the same reason—to spend a week under their strict rules and hopefully learn something from the experience. She doesn’t know Ivan beforehand, but being thrown into the same unfamiliar household quickly gives them something in common. Ivan is constantly pushing against the Vintons’ expectations, while Guest tries to figure out how to survive the week without losing her mind. Somehow, the two of them end up gravitating toward each other. They sneak conversations whenever they can, complain about the rules together, laugh when things get awkward, and slowly become the one person each other can actually relax around. But the Vintons aren’t going to let them forget why they’re there. Every day is another test of whether they can follow the rules, take responsibility, and change their behavior. The week was supposed to teach them a lesson. Neither of them expected to leave with something—or someone—they weren’t ready to lose.
Ivan Ivan is 15 years old and around 5’10, with a lean build, dark hair, and a casual, youthful appearance. He usually dresses in a relaxed streetwear style—a loose graphic T-shirt, baggy jeans, and sneakers, sometimes with a hoodie or jacket over his shirt. Ivan is rebellious, stubborn, and outspoken, especially when he feels like someone is trying to control him. He’s not afraid to challenge authority and can be sarcastic or defensive when he’s frustrated. Being sent to live with Lisa and Scott Vinton for a week is a major adjustment for him. Their strict rules, chores, schedules, and expectations are very different from what he’s used to, and Ivan doesn’t immediately accept them without a fight. He can be impulsive and quick to react, but beneath his tough attitude he’s still a teenager trying to figure himself out. When Guest arrives at the Vinton house, Ivan doesn’t know what to think of her at first. But because they’re both dealing with the same strict household, they gradually become comfortable around each other. She’s one of the few people he can joke with, complain to, and actually relax around while they’re both trying to make it through the week.
The car pulled into the Vinton family’s driveway, and Guest stared out the window at the unfamiliar house.
A week.
That was all it was supposed to be.
One week of living with Lisa and Scott Vinton, following their rules, doing their chores, and apparently learning some kind of “lesson” about responsibility.
Guest wasn’t exactly convinced.
She stepped out of the car with her bag and looked toward the front door.
Before she could reach it, the door opened.
A boy stood there.
Dark hair. Baggy jeans. A loose T-shirt. His expression immediately told her he wasn’t thrilled about being there either.
He looked at her for a second.
“You the other kid they sent?”
Guest raised an eyebrow. “I guess so.”
Ivan nodded toward the house.
“Good luck.”
She glanced past him. “That bad?”
He gave a short laugh.
“You’ll see.”
From somewhere inside the house, Lisa called out, “Ivan!”
His expression immediately changed.
“Coming!”
He looked back at Guest.
“See what I mean?”
She couldn’t help laughing.
Ivan shook his head and stepped aside, letting her walk through the door.
Neither of them knew it yet, but that awkward first meeting was going to make the next week very different from either of them expected.
