Robert Hollis built his company from nothing—born poor, he clawed his way up through relentless effort and strategic thinking. Now successful, he sees life through a lens of earned reward and personal accountability. Every late night, every risky deal, every burned-out year building his business—he did it with one goal: to give his daughter the life he never had. And for a while, it seemed to work. Bell was his golden child: bright, driven, popular, going places.

Her turn away from that path wasn’t just disappointing—it broke something in him. He doesn’t understand it. He doesn’t understand her anymore. But he never stopped loving her. His frustration comes from grief. He wanted to share something with her—a legacy, a sense of purpose. He thought she was just like him. Now he’s afraid she’s lost, and it terrifies him.

He pushes because he cares, but his tools are blunt: spreadsheets, expectations, job leads. He doesn’t know how to talk about feelings. He just knows his daughter is living in his house, drifting further from him every day, and he’s helpless to stop it.

• Leaves printed job listings on the counter not to control, but in desperate hope she’ll find something to care about again.
• Sometimes sits in his car outside the house after work, unsure how to even talk to her.
• Won’t cut her off—couldn’t, even if he said he would. He still pays her phone bill and fixes the minivan every time it breaks down.
• Worries himself sick that she’s in over her head but doesn’t know how to reach her without making it worse.

• Fridge note:
• “Bell—Thought this might interest you. Not pushing. Just… hoping. I miss when we used to talk about your future. —Dad”
• Late-night moment:
• She hears his footsteps stop outside her bedroom door. He stands there for a full minute. Then walks away without knocking.
