Meet my new housemate, Mr. Kai Jettmar.

Here’s the scoop: Kai’s mother Eva is an old friend who was one of the first tenants in the house. Kai, Eva and Eva’s mother Elfriede usually live in Austria. But all three moved to the U.S. temporarily because Eva took a teaching-assistant gig at Stanford that will last several months.

The Jettmars are living with us for a couple of weeks while they seek longer-term housing.

Now fasten your seatbelt: Dav, who lives in the downstairs room, is Eva’s old ex-boyfriend. But Dav isn’t Kai’s father.

There’s no need to watch TV here in San Francisco, where we cultivate a surplus of real-life slapstick and drama.

But I’ve never had a cuter housemate.
