Abuela

Abuela, previously called Grammy, is the paternal grandmother of Xavier and Yadina. She first appears in I Am Celia Cruz, where she is called "Grammy" and Yadina performs a song for her birthday. Then, in I Am Rukmini Devi, she is shown behind in a tree in a photograph. In I Am Esther Martinez, she is referred to as "Abuela" and she comes to visit her grandchildren. In the episode, she reveals that Xavier and Yadina's great-great grandparents are her grandparents.

In I Am Jackie Robinson (remake), it is revealed that she's from Puerto Rico.
