Pedro is a neighbor and another main protagonist with whom Tita falls in love at first sight. The feeling turns out to be mutual, so Pedro asks Mama Elena for Tita’s hand in marriage. Unfortunately, Mama Elena forbids it, citing the de la Garza family tradition that the youngest daughter (in this case Tita) must remain unmarried and take care of her mother until her mother’s death.
