About Rosa

Rosa and her husband have recently immigrated to be with her son and grandchildren. She is looking to set down roots in the town they have settled in.

 

Spending most of the week looking after her grandchildren, Rosa also attends the local religious group weekly. Rosa tries to be active in community life, while her husband prefers to stay at home. They come from a farming background and prefer the quiet lifestyle around the town. Their son lives a busy life, commuting into the city or working on his laptop on the weekend.
