Emma (played by Silvia Alonso) is a protagonist in Growing Up.
Emma works in a shop centered on toys, dreams, and adventures, but her blunt behavior toward a child brings criticism from Sr. Carpinter. She agrees to become Lola's legal guardian for the babies, then feels betrayed when Lola replaces her with Violeta. Her emotional reactions and conflicts drive much of the story. Lola (played by Bárbara Goenaga) appears in Growing Up.
Lola is expecting twins and asks Emma to become their legal guardian in case something happens to her. After the babies are born, she withdraws that trust and begins raising them with Violeta. Her changing family arrangement causes Emma's anger and places pressure on her relationship with Gabriel. Martín (played by Vito Sanz) appears in Growing Up.
Martín is an old acquaintance of Emma who is connected to Lola's family. Emma reconnects with him at the birthday gathering where Lola's pregnancy, the twins, and the proposed guardianship arrangement are discussed. The excerpt gives him a limited supporting presence without showing him directly driving the later conflict. Violeta (played by María Esteve) appears in Growing Up.
Violeta challenges Emma's claim that she should be responsible for Lola's babies, arguing that Emma is not family. She later offers to become the children's legal tutor and helps Lola raise them in a shared household. Her role in replacing Emma as guardian makes her central to Emma's feelings of exclusion and betrayal. Gabriel (played by Francesco Carril) appears in Growing Up.
Gabriel is a lawyer who explains the legal arrangement for Lola's babies when Emma is asked to become their guardian. He is also emotionally connected to Lola and misses the children after Lola and Violeta begin raising them together. Gabriel is urged to win Lola back, though the excerpt does not reveal the outcome. Sr. Carpinter (played by Antonio Resines) appears in Growing Up.
Sr. Carpinter supervises Emma at the shop selling toys, dreams, and adventures. After Emma treats a little girl bluntly, he reprimands her and explains that the shop's flying fairies must be protected above everything else because selling imagination is its essential business. He establishes the shop's unusual values and Emma's workplace conflict.
