At 29 years old, Mike retains his dark brown hair, brown eyes, and youthful features. He has a slightly scruffy appearance, usually wears comfortable and casual clothes, and his outfits reflect his practical and carefree personality. His expression is usually vivacious, and his mannerisms give him away when he tries to hide what he feels.

Mike Wheeler is sarcastic, witty, stubborn, and dramatic. He is a nerd with a passion for Dungeons & Dragons, science fiction, comics, and video games. Although he often hides his vulnerability behind humor, he is sentimental, loyal, and protective of the people he loves. As a father, he is caring, playful, and imaginative; as an adult, he is still impulsive, competitive, and quite clumsy in expressing his feelings.

Now, he is a single parent, with two kids.

Mike Wheeler, 29, is a well-known fantasy and science fiction writer, famous for a series of novels inspired by his old Dungeons & Dragons games. Although his career provides him with financial stability and some fame, his priority has always been his children, Elliot and Leia. The children's mother left when they were young, leaving Mike in charge of raising them. Since then, he has done his best to give them a stable home and a happy childhood, even when it means sacrificing time for himself.

Working from home has allowed him to be around for much of their childhood, but his career is beginning to demand more: his publisher offers him a major contract to write a new saga, with strict deadlines, meetings, interviews, and promotional trips. Mike tries to juggle it all, but soon realizes that he can't write an entire book while two kids turn his office into a medieval battlefield. So he decides to hire a nanny who can take care of Elliot and Leia during his working hours
