Fanon:The Moore Family

The Moore family is a small family. It only consists of three members, Nick Moore, his wife, Elizabeth, and their daughter, Meredith.

Nick and Elizabeth are a retired veteran and doctor respectively. So they hold high expectations for their daughter, Meredith. However, Meredith prefers to be a small business owner because she owns her own boarding house and thrift store.

Background
The Moores have East Asian roots in them because of their appearances. However, their name is fairly common in western countries. As such, Nick's ancestors must've immigrated from an Asian country and were given western names.

The Sims 4: Get to Work
Nick Moore eventually joins the Military and then he meets and marries a doctor by the name of Elizabeth. They have one child together, a daughter named Meredith. They hold high expectations for Meredith as they raise her. However, Meredith's goals in life don't meet Nick and Elizabeth's expectations. Once she becomes a young adult, Meredith buys Dusty Turf in Parched Prospect, Oasis Springs and converts it into a boarding house for three tenants. She also buys and runs her own thrift store called Moore Stuff & Things. Meredith's current tenants are Jackie Rose, a single lady who works as a cop; Jackie's niece Janet Parker, a young and aspiring scientist; and Brandon Girard, a suave single doctor and Meredith's latest tenant.

One morning following Meredith's approval of Brandon moving in, she tries to cheer Jackie up over her break-up with some man named David Wren. Meredith tells Jackie that she'll get over the break-up because she is stronger than she thinks. Meredith also tells Jackie about how she and Janet missed Brandon moving in with them yesterday. While Meredith doesn't introduce them to each other, Jackie eventually meets Brandon during breakfast.

About a day later the next morning while Meredith is cooking breakfast, Brandon asks her if he can use her bathroom because someone else is using the main bathroom. Meredith tells him no because she explicitly explained when he moved in is that the only rooms that are strictly off-limits are her bedroom and her bathroom. Brandon doesn't take the information well and uses Meredith's bathroom anyway, unknown to Meredith. Later in the day, she goes to her thrift store. Upon arrival, Meredith thinks about hiring someone for some extra help, but she goes about working the store and helping the customers by herself.

The next morning, Meredith is told an abduction story by Janet. While the events did happen, Meredith suggests to Janet that she simply dreamed it. Another morning later, Meredith begins to suspect someone else is using her bathroom. As a result, she locks her bathroom so only she can get into it and reminds Jackie and Brandon about her rules about not using her bathroom.

A couple days later, Meredith has to fix the main shower after someone breaks it. All she knows is that either Jackie or Janet broke it because Brandon never used it that morning. Although, Meredith suspects he showered somehow as she is fixing it. She asks Brandon how he showered that day and he explains that he never got a chance because it was broken. So, Brandon quells Meredith's suspicion by taking a shower. Later that evening, Meredith has a chat with Jackie. Jackie tells Meredith about her worries that Janet is working herself into isolationism because of her alien fantasies and the lack of people she talks to. Jackie then asks Meredith if she can take Janet with her to the thrift store so she can meet people. Meredith agrees on the basis that they've known each other for four years and she considers Jackie and Janet as friends.

During breakfast the next morning, Meredith explains the benefits of going to her store to Janet after she is told by Jackie and after going on a small fit about not being a child. After breakfast, Janet reluctantly joins Meredith to the thrift store to help out. Meredith explains Janet the basics of Moore Stuff & Things and shows her first dollar to Janet. As the day progresses, Meredith trusts Janet enough to run things alone as she does some work in her office. At the end of the day, Meredith asks Janet how her day went. Janet lies that it helped clear her head of fantasies. Meredith then jokingly states that Janet should work for her everyday instead. Janet shoots the idea down by stating that she can't do it all the time.

Another day later, Meredith finds out someone else is still using her bathroom when she cleans up a puddle. Her solution is to lock her bedroom as well and remind Jackie, Janet, and Brandon about her two simple rules again. A few days pass and Meredith suspects the person who has been using her bathroom stopped until her shower breaks for no apparent reason. She fixes her shower, but she refuses to retaliate until she catches the person in the act.

Another few days later, Meredith returns to her store to run it. She finally decides to hire someone for extra help around the store. She hires a young man named Emil Martinez. Meredith intially assigns Emil to answer customers' questions. Then, when Meredith checks in on Emil, she assigns him to check customers out. Emil's work ethic impresses Meredith and by the end of the day, she gives him praise.

On the next day Meredith opens her store, she assigns Emil to restock some sold out items. On that day, Elizabeth decides to make a surprise visit to Moore Stuff & Things. Meredith welcomes her mother with a warm heart before asking her what she is doing at the store. Elizabeth explains that she came so she could discuss Meredith's love life, which is to say that she doesn't have one at all. Peeved, Meredith tells Elizabeth that she doesn't need a love life because she is happy with her current one. Meredith then reassigns Emil to help with Elizabeth. Meredith takes over with restocking items before retreating to her office. Meanwhile, Elizabeth does some shopping with Emil's help until she decides to leave. Some hours pass when Meredith finally leaves her office. She asks Emil if Elizabeth is gone and he says yes. Meredith swiftly thanks Emil for his help. She then explains to Emil how she doesn't have a love life and how her parents are badgering her into getting one lately even though she doesn't want one. Emil sympathizes with Meredith's situation because he doesn't have a love life either. Before closing the store, Meredith suggests to Emil that he should visit her and her tenants some time. Emil appreciates the gesture and agrees to do so soon.

Despite being peeved at her mother, Meredith begins to wonder if Elizabeth is actually right about being disappointed in not having a love life a couple days later. In any case, later that same morning, Meredith and Janet learn from Jackie that she's dating her boss, Advik Meshram. While Meredith is happy for Jackie, after she leaves, Meredith tells Janet that she should talk to Jackie about the possible consequences of dating a superior because they're family. Janet tells Meredith no for that reason, but she does so anyway.
