Calling all Spanish speakers, readers and writers!
Okay, normally I wouldn't put in languages I don't understand a lick of in my writing but this character has captured me and he's set on being an old, grizzly but sweet 60y.o. Mexican man.
A little more info: He's been hired as a cook by the son of his old friend and he's come to think of this man as something of a foster son, family. The man is in his mid 30s and is a cold person but he's warm to the old man and also considers him family. The man has brought over the woman (26 y.o.) who he is seeing and this is the first time he has introduced anyone to the older man. He has also brought over the woman's younger brother is a scrawny, small 10 y.o. boy, who looks as malnutritioned as his older sister.
The old man warms to them immediately and I see him calling the little boy an endearment/nickname like little buddy or something.
I researched what I could and came up with miho and chiquito for the boy and carino for the woman. I'm not sure if these would work or are even age appropriate either. I'm hoping someone can help me here.
Also, would he call the man (his employer) something? Maybe something like jefe in jest and something else that like "son" in Spanish?
Someone, somewhere please lend some assistance. por favor!
