Marlin isn’t given an age in the guidebook (only kids and NPC in their 20s are) but dialogue in Chapter 2 remarking he’s old enough to be company president if he stayed at his company implies he’s well over 30 in Chapter 1.

While Vesta is referred to as Celia's "relative"[[note]]親戚 (shinseki)[[/note]] in the official Japanese guidebooks for ''A Wonderful Life'' and ''Another Wonderful Life'', just how closely they are related is unclear-- the word just means "relatives" generally, so they could simply be in-laws or something to that effect.
