Tía Fermina
A wealthy, married doctor, and Olga’s longtime boss—and lover. Julia discovers Dr. Castillo’s identity when she visits the office where Olga used to work and recognizes Castillo as a mysterious man who showed up at Olga’s funeral without introducing himself to anyone. Dr. Castillo seems to be in real turmoil over Olga’s death, and though Julia lambasts him for stringing Olga along for years, he insists that adult relationships are complicated and that one day Julia will understand what he and Olga went through together.
