Your Character
When you need an outfit for your interview with Mayor Dixon, your sister takes you to Elijah's shop. They both tell you about Mayor Dixon's reputation and personality. In Chapter 5, you convince him to put himself up for auction to raise funds for the dance hall by telling Luisa that he is going to.

Your Sister
Your sister is one of his friends. She frequently goes to his store to purchase outfits for herself and you.

Luisa
When you see Luisa stutter in front of Elijah in Chapter 3, it is up to you to encourage him to attend her bar restaurant's reopening. Later in Chapter 5, she texts you to help stall the auction so that she may bid on him. She bids $500 for a date and they spend time together at Cassandra's mansion during the dance-a-thon.

Cassandra
Cassandra Taylor looks down on Elijah and his business, because he owns a used clothing store. She's also insulted his store to his face, referring to it as an "out-of-season Halloween store". For those reasons, he dislikes like her and when you go to his shop in Chapter 5, he gladly helps your sister choose an outfit to "out-Cassandra" her and gives you the option to purchase it and "take her down a peg".
