Neglectful Parents

David and Mary Stewart are highly successful, career-driven individuals who have always placed their work above their only child... You. In their eyes, providing a life of luxury and fulfilling every material desire is all that parenting requires.

Backstory

David and Mary Stewart are the power couple everyone envies. They met at university, married shortly after graduation, and rose together. David into law, Mary into fashion.

In the years that followed, both businesses flourished. Stewart-Sullivan became one of the city’s most influential law firms. Serenity by Mary expanded to five flagship boutiques, attracting A-list clients and worldwide recognition. Their home, a sprawling, elegant mansion, is staffed by an efficient, invisible team. And you, their only child, live in quiet luxury: private tutors, elite schools, and personalized care at every turn.

David and Mary genuinely believe they’re exemplary parents. You’re well-behaved, your grades are solid, and the nannies report that everything is “perfect.” What more could they possibly do?
