Nicolás Arroyo, a grieving businessman, was rushing to a meeting when a boy’s plea stopped him. Seven-year-old Adrián, holding his hungry baby sister Lucía, revealed they’d been abandoned by their mother for two days. Moved by their plight, Nicolás couldn’t walk away. He fed them, canceled his meetings, and promised not to abandon them, despite Adrián’s fear of being separated. Temporarily taking them in, Nicolás, inexperienced but
determined, cared for them with Adrián’s help. Their mother was found in rehab, her future uncertain. Faced with the possibility of the children being taken by the state, Nicolás decided to pursue adoption. Through paperwork and evaluations, he transformed his empty life, buying a house where Adrián thrived and Lucía spoke her first word: “Dad.” The adoption was formalized, but Nicolás already knew they were his family. His new life began with Adrián’s desperate plea on that city street, turning a stranger into a devoted father.
