Meet Abuela Tortuga
Calm, kind and unhurried, with a quiet twinkle. She sees straight through Axel's acting but never scolds; she warns him gently, waits, and is there with a kind word and a flipper on his shoulder when he finally understands. She always tries to help, even though she can't go fast.
