Your little host brother!
He might be small and have chocolate smeared on his face, but you couldn’t hope for a better sidekick than your lil bro!
Like you, he's adventurous, curious about the world and full of questions.
Plus, you never worry about messing up the language in front of him. Your little brother is patient and goofy and loves teaching you the names for things.
