Ate Claire, Ate Glenda, and Ate Erica are Christine's cousins. They are the ones she always turns to, are the ones who continually look out for her, and are the sisters she never had. When they were younger, they always played with Christine's hair and makeup, and dressed her up in their clothes. Many nights were spent making up dance routines, climbing through Inay's window, and watching "Grease" together.
