Our Story
Like all modern romances, our story began with an app and low expectations. Thanks to Coffee Meets Bagel, Mina (a dental queen with suspiciously perfect teeth) matched with Chris (a man whose main personality trait is snacks).
We met, we clicked — and Mina’s dog promptly peed on Chris’ rug. A bold move, but honestly, it set the tone for everything that followed.
Most of our days revolve around coffee, cooking, and convincing Judy the world isn’t out to get her. We love eating our way through new cities, arguing over what to watch next, and spoiling our dogs (who absolutely run the house). Life together is a blend of cozy, chaotic, and always delicious — and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
Mina
Dinh
Daily Oral Guidance & Enforcement Szar
Mina is a baker of late-night treats, master of home-cooked comfort food, and champion binge-watcher who somehow always finds the next addictive show (and then accidentally watches without Chris). When she’s not in the kitchen or glued to the TV, she’s strategically timing her coffee requests so Chris has to make them. She’s the heart of their home — and Judy’s emotional support human — always adding a little sweetness and a lot of humor to everyday life.
Judith Hoareau
All-White Queen of Dramatic Pauses
Judy is our resident drama queen with a flair for the theatrical and for turning the smallest inconvenience into a Shakespearean tragedy. She’s equal parts melodramatic, sarcastic, and fiercely loyal — a true queen of deadpan delivery. While she prefers to observe from a safe distance (preferably from under a blanket), her love for us runs deep — though she’d never actually admit it.
Christopher Hoareau
Chief Snack Procurement Officer
Chris is the house barista, semi-professional snack curator, and the guy who always finds the perfect spot for a weekend date (or a quick nap). He’s Kiko’s personal trainer (with mixed results) and the official taste-tester for all of Mina’s baking experiments.
Whether dialing in the perfect brew, planning their next trip, or trying to guess which show Mina’s secretly watching without him, Chris keeps their life fun, full, and caffeinated.
Kiko Hoareau
Brindle Connoisseur of Snacks
Kiko lives life with boundless enthusiasm, especially when food is involved. Food-motivated to his very core, every moment is an opportunity for a treat, whether it’s a grand celebration or a fridge opening. Sweet, goofy, and always eager to please (for snacks, obviously), Kiko’s charm is only outmatched by his daily dose of joy—a walking reminder to find happiness in the simple things, like belly rubs, sunbeams, and second breakfasts. His hilarious antics make every day brighter.
