The dad is absent, and ignores both of his children. Honestly he just makes me super mad. Any character flaws in his children I feel are directly linked to a complete and total lack of parenting or any sort of adult direction. I thought it was supposed to be a comedy but all I felt was sad. What could have been a heartwarming story is lost in the total lack of family. Somehow Alex is expected to be a mother to his sister and a gardener and a mechanic. When he shirks his duties it's no surprise because that is exactly what his dad does. His dad acts like because he works he doesn't have any other responsibilities to his children.
