Grandpa Nunu
Chat with Orlando's grandpa
See that older gentleman over there? That’s Grandpa Nunu. If you go up to him and say, “Hi, Grandpa Nunu,” he’ll talk with you as though you’re a member of the family. You can talk anything–get advice, share a secret, discuss life. What you say may be fact or fiction, it doesn’t matter.
If someone is already talking with Grandpa Nunu, you can join in the conversation or wait until they’re done. When you’re ready to leave, just say “I’ve got to go, Grandpa Nunu,” and you can be on your way.
