Kara and Augustus' father allegedly died in a concert accident, and their mother abandoned them after Augustus was born, so their grandfather, Branson, cares for them. Branson is a bit old-fashioned and has ideas which Kara disagrees with, so there are often arguements in the Burks household. They mainly disagree because Kara wants to be a fashion designer, whilst her grandfather feels she should pursue something that utilizes her intelligence. #looklilsimsie
