Chapter 1: The Will

Leila and Jay Fersto are brother and sister, although not much alike. Jay Fersto, Ambitious, Neat, and Arrogant, only cares about becoming Fabulously Wealthy while Leila, a Family-Oriented though slightly Childish Foodie, only has one dream in life: to have a Big Happy Family. 

The worst day of Leila's life was when her doctor announced that she wouldn't ever be able to have children of her own. The worst day of Jay's life was when the person closest to him, his grandmother, passed away.

Jay and Leila's grandmother, Grandma GG, cared deeply for her two only grandchildren, but she also knew that they were both deeply flawed. Before she passed, she thought deeply about how she could thank Jay and Leila for  their devoted love through the years but at the same time teach them a valuable life lesson from the grave. Finally, she came to a decision. This decision was revealed to Jay and Leila on the day of their grandmother's funeral. 

In her will, Grandma GG bequeathed her mansion to her two grandchildren (the house that she grew up in that she later raised them up in) only, there's a catch. In order to fully inherit the house, Jay and Leila must raise from childhood to young adulthood 5 foster children. The full requirements were outlined to the children in more detail in the will. By imposing this on them, Grandma GG hoped to accomplish two things: First, she hoped to keep her family together (although she knew that Leila and Jay loved each other dearly, she also knew that they had next to nothing in common and left to their own devices they may never call each other, let alone arrange family events) and give both of her grandchildren something they deeply wanted (Jay, the house he had grown up with and his last link to his grandmother who had raised him / Leila, the space and opportunity to have the big family she so desired). Second, Grandma GG hoped that by imposing such a challenge on the two young adults, they would mature. Jay was arrogant and ambitious and didn't know how to think of others. Leila was still a true child at heart and had trouble taking responsibility. She wanted children, but perhaps for too selfish a reason and didn't realize that having children implied raising children.

And therefore, the most trying and exhausting times of their lives was about to hit Jay and Leila...although they were still blissfully ignorant of the task that awaited them.
