Nephewism: Grayson's parents were killed in a car crash when she was four. She lives with Uncle Evan, Aunt Sally, and her cousins Jack and Brett. Grayson remembers very little about her parents and often wonders what her life would be like if they were still alive. After Grandma Alice dies, Grayson receives some letters written by her mother. She learns that her parents knew she was trans and accepted her, but Evan and Sally essentially forced her into the closet.
