First up is Brad, the soft, insecure step-dad. He’s a radio executive who talks like he’s reading a motivational poster. Have you ever met a guy who tries so hard? Brad is that guy, but multiplied by a million.
He wears sweaters that scream "I’m harmless." He builds a treehouse with actual blueprints. His idea of being tough is watching Die Hard with the volume down so the kids don’t get scared. It’s painfully adorable.
But here’s the thing: Brad’s heart is made of pure gold. He genuinely loves those kids. He just has zero clue how to be cool. His attempts to bond involve elaborate, over-planned crafts. It’s like watching a golden retriever try to fix a car.
