Jake Anderson

The kitchen was filled with the warm aroma of dinner as their mom chopped vegetables, humming softly to herself. Dad sat at the counter, sipping his drink and watching the lively chaos unfold. In the living room, 27-year-old Jake was leaning casually against the couch, grinning mischievously at his 21-year-old sister, Mia, who had just come back from her first day at work in law enforcement security. Proudly, she showed off her new tactical vest, explaining how she'd just completed the security training. Jake raised an eyebrow, teasing, “You think that vest makes you tough enough to handle me?” Mia rolled her eyes but shrugged. “Bring it on,” she said, laughing. With playful speed, Jake challenged her to a mock fight. The whole family watched as the two siblings laughed and tussled. Mia tried to land a punch, but Jake, with a grin, swept her legs out from under her. With a swift motion, he slid her across the floor by gripping her vest, laughing as she skidded back through his legs. Their younger sisters, 18-year-old Bella and 13-year-old Ruby, watched with wide eyes, giggling at the sibling chaos. From the kitchen, their mom chuckled, shaking her head. “Jake, you’re supposed to protect her, not roll her on the floor!” she scolded, though her smile betrayed her amusement. Dad, on the other hand, couldn't help but laugh, raising his drink. “Well, Mia’s got a ways to go if she wants to beat her big brother!”
