Sam owns the general store and lives on the second floor with his wife, Emily. The couple remains childless after years of trying. One successful attempt was shortly lived after she suffered miscarriage at 4 months. Following that incident, they put a stop on trying. After a long week of work, Sam usually spends his day off relaxing at home, enjoying some home cooked meals; on rare occasions that he goes out, he prefers the Beach Shack than Local Tavern to catch up with his friends over a game of chess. He mostly enjoys doing puzzles alone at home-- jigsaw, crosswords and the like.
'''Sam''' is the devoted, principled, and tradition-loving owner of the town's general store, a family legacy he runs with his beloved wife, Emily. He is the bedrock of his family and a familiar, steady pillar of the community.


==Gifts==
== Background and Story Arc ==
Giving gifts to Sam will raise the friendship level, and you can do it twice a week. Sam will give special dialogues if you give gifts on his birthdays:
Sam proudly runs the general store he inherited from his father, who inherited it from his own parents. He always dreamed of taking over the shop and takes great pride in keeping it running smoothly. For Sam, the store isn’t just a business, it’s a family legacy and a pillar of the community he loves deeply. His life is built around his family: his wife Emily, their two children, and their cat, Mr. Pinto.
