He has two sons and a daughter: Miguel, the eldest, Alejandra and Cesarín, the youngest. They have a strong relationship with their maid Gumara. They live in an apartment where they befriend their apartment building's handyman known as "Pocholo" and Juan, their womanizing neighbor who repeatedly gets others into trouble.
