A TV School (MI: Yaya Style)

This story starts here.

Hera knew she was acting badly, but it was the first time Niko had come to her. Niko always went to Nicholas, but this time it was Hera who got the nod. So, here she was secretly using a camera she didn't understand and a computer she understood even less. All so that her beautiful grandchildren could be on TV at that fancy school the Wests ran.
Niko pulled a square thing out of the camera and inserted it into the computer. All the pictures they had just taken flashed up on the screen. There was Penny, hiding in the closet, Dolores hamming it up, Demetra looking angry because she hadn't finished brushing her hair, and Quade's sweet smile. Hera had beautiful grandchildren and this wasn't even the half of them. The big score were the pictures of Helia and Alistaire. They had been on their way to an interview so they looked very professional. Helia was so beautiful. Hera could never understand her attraction to Alistaire, but she knew the Alistaire was a very good man--not an attractive man, but a very good man.
Niko sorted through the pictures culling and cropping and finally inserting them into the appropriate blanks in the online applications. He had even found the appropriate area to submit teacher applications.
"This is going to be great, Yaya. They have to choose us. We're smart. We're good looking, and our parents are teachers. Where else will they find a family like that? We have great back story."
"Absolutely." Hera enthused, though she wasn't sure what "back story" meant.
The applications were finished except the resume portion of Alistaire and Helia. Hera had helped to secure a copy of their resumes by saying that she would pass it on the principal of the Orthodox school. Niko added the input in the proper places.
"That's that, Yaya. Thanks for letting me use the bakery computer. I didn't want mom and dad to catch me."
"No problem. I'll let you know if they reply." she promised.
