Grandma Young
Chris Larsson is Ollie’s older brother; he’s a police officer with the Osborne Police Department. Chris treats Makani kindly, offering to let her stay at the Larsson home while Grandma Young recovers in the hospital—though he mortifies Ollie and Makani when he implicitly reminds the teenage couple to practice safe sex. Chris moved back home to care for Ollie after their parents died in a car wreck when Ollie was in middle school. Chris and Ollie have a loving but occasionally strained relationship—it’s sometimes difficult for Chris to decide whether he needs to be the protective, strict parent or the cool older sibling. When Ollie goes through a rough patch, Chris uses his connection with the police department to prevent Ollie from getting into legal trouble, but Ollie’s behavior creates a temporary rift in their relationship. Ultimately, though, Chris is only concerned that his younger brother is okay, and he helps Ollie receive the treatment he needs to get better.
