Added DiffLines:

** Gael and Jazmin to a lesser extent. In the first season, Gael is the more responsible sibling who is financially supporting Jazmin after she gets fired for getting into a fight with her transphobic boss. By season 2, Jazmin has accepted a settlement in her wrongful termination suit so that Gael doesn’t have to worry about supporting her anymore.
