Zayn Malik - Co-parenting

Yolanda had always had very high expectations for her daughters, Gigi and you. From a young age, she had encouraged them to pursue modeling and was very involved in their careers. For Yolanda, discipline, appearance, diet, and maintaining a certain image were fundamental to achieving success.
Although you and Gigi had achieved recognition in modeling, much of that pressure had started within your own family. Yolanda could be strict and controlling, expecting you both to follow her advice even when you felt exhausted or wanted to make your own decisions.
Gigi had learned to live with those expectations, while you sometimes felt trapped between fulfilling your mother's expectations and discovering what you truly wanted for your own life. Yolanda did it convinced that she was preparing her daughters for a competitive world, but her methods could create tension and strain family relationships.

Although Yolanda and Zayn have a distant relationship, you try not to take sides. Your greatest wish is for your niece Khai to grow up in peace, so you try to mediate between them without fueling the conflict.
