Denny Hall (Dad)
Teddy is Mia’s eight-year-old younger brother. Mia was present at his birth, and she was the first person he every laid eyes on. Mia’s Mom jokes that Teddy “imprinted” on Mia, since Mia has a mother-like connection and influence over Teddy. Teddy loves eight-year-old things such as SpongeBob and banging on drum sets. His birth is the reason Dad quits his band and devotes more time to the family. While he survives the initial impact of the car crash, he later dies in the hospital.
