The Cat
Nasanin is Parvaneh and Patrick's three-year-old daughter. Ove finds her toddler language perplexing and her boundless energy tiring. She thinks that Ove is the funniest and most exciting person she's ever met and because of this, she draws pictures of Ove using wild colors. She tries very hard to form a relationship with the cat, though the cat is entirely uninterested in being friends with a toddler. Nasanin also teaches Ove the proper way to read storybooks.
