Your Character
In Chapter 5, when you stop by his auto shop, you ask him about his business and why he appears depressed. He tells you that a lot of his business is sucked up by bigger shops in Northbridge these days. You have the premium opportunity to help Javier impress Mel by converting his lot into a community garden, which also will serve as a side business for him as well. He can rent out plots to the community since his business is next to one of the town's main roads, and he could give potential customers a "two for one" type opportunity: to have their cars serviced while they are working on their gardens.

Mel
Javier gets tongue-tied talking to Mel. She offers him some of her surplus of vegetables from her garden. If you decide to help transform his lot into a community garden, he tells you that he has a brown thumb and has killed every plant he has ever kept. However, Mel would think the idea would be "dreamy" and that it would give them both something to talk about. Once the lot is transformed, he asks her out to dinner.

Trivia

 * His character model resembles Leo Miller from the Big Sky Country series.
