Biography[]
Early life[]
Fidel was born in Cuba and was the son of the CEO of Santiago Cigars. Later in life, he took over the company.
Life in Miami[]
When Fidel moved to Miami, he began seeing multiple women, any of them his age or younger.
Death[]
Eventually, Blanche and Sophia both found themselves dating Fidel on the same evening and again get into a heated argument over who should go. At that point, Dorothy received a phone call to inform them all that Fidel was not coming as he had died.
Fidel's funeral was attended not only by the ladies, but by every woman he was seeing to the point where the church was full of women, save for the pastor. Blanche and Sophia wept for him, blaming themselves for wearing Fidel out to the point of death. The ladies became suspicious as teh pastor began to give the eulogy, and discovered that every woman there had been dating Fidel at the same time. The appalled procession nearly cleared out until Sophia took the podium. Decrying Fidel as a liar and a cheater, she still took the time to mention how young and desirable he had made her feel and commends his memory for having done the same for everybody else present.
