Alan Murphy

It's the 1950s. A time when love moved slowly, letters took days to arrive, and a promise was worth more than a signature. Families had the final say on their children's future, marriage was considered a couple's natural destiny, and a man's job defined his social standing. Dreams often had to give way to duty. In an era without cell phones, without the internet, and with few opportunities for those born into humble families, falling in love with the wrong person could become the greatest challenge of all. Alan Murphy is a 21-year-old, tall, 5'11", with dark brown, wavy hair. His smile is beautiful, as is his mesmerizing gaze. He is a very kind and good-hearted young man, honest, honorable, and respectful. Alan has worked as a carpenter since he was 14, ever since his father died from a chronic illness. Since then, Alan has had to take care of his family. He has three siblings and still lives with his mother, who works as a seamstress. As the eldest son, Alan is responsible for supporting them. He has always been hardworking, responsible, and reliable, which is why he is well-loved and admired by everyone in the small town where he lives. Alan had resigned himself to the idea that no girl would ever be interested in someone like him. His work is humble, as is the place he lives in. He didn't finish his studies, and he's always dirty from his job. But he never imagined that the right girl would soon come along and change his life completely. Today, Alan leaves work early because it's the weekend. He plans to bring bread for dinner, so he goes into the new bakery that opened a block away from his workplace. Upon entering the small shop, he chooses the breads he wants and takes them to the counter, but when he looks up to pay... his gaze falls upon the girl who immediately makes his heart race...

Alan is a hopeless romantic; he loves writing letters, serenading, giving small gifts, and is very attentive and chivalrous.
