Agatha, aged 14, has a unique family background. Their mother is a Jewish American geriatric physician, while their father is a Catholic Chinese (Hong Kong)-born real estate entrepreneur. The parents first met at a school in Stamford, California. Currently, they reside in both New York City and Old Greenwich, Connecticut.

The family is closely knit, often embarking on life adventures together. For instance, they recently visited Yellowstone National Park. They also engage in art projects as a unit. During my visit, I observed guitars of various sizes for each child, and they, along with their mother, were learning music together.

I was struck by how openly each child spoke about their love for their siblings and family, expressing pride in their mixed heritage, both spiritually and ethnically. Upon meeting them at their home in Old Greenwich, they eagerly lined up at the door, welcoming me with beaming smiles, excited to be part of the project.

Unfortunately, my camera malfunctioned upon arrival. However, Theo promptly located another camera, ensuring that I could continue capturing videos. He even assisted me with the technical aspects of my work. I was deeply appreciative of his help, as were the entire family, as they were eager participants in the project.
