The Matthews family consists of four members; Roland, his wife, their daughter Ruby and a dog called Baby. The family lives in Matthews house in Moordale, which Ruby finds ugly.
The family is struggling with Roland's illness (multiple sclerosis), which caused him to quit his job. This means that the family needs to rely only on Mrs. Matthews' paycheck. Roland's sickness and stressful atmosphere at her home has a large impact on Ruby and her mother's mental state. Ruby and Mrs. Matthews deeply care about Roland, often helping him to get up from bed, cooking him dinners or even roll him a joint.
