 Kim Ching is Carlos  foster daughter visiting from Korea. Carlos is expecting Kim to be a young girl who still plays with teddy bears, but she ends up being a beautiful young woman who is looking for a husband. She has many wannabe suitors, in particular Ramon Diaz, the convent s gardener and a former employee of Carlos . But in protective Carlos  mind, no man is good enough for Kim, especially Ramon, who Carlos sees as a lady s man. But for Ramon, it s love at first sight with Kim. Kim interprets Carlos  refusal to let her date any man and his want to school her in the ways of being a western lady as his own intention to marry her himself. Despite Carlos explicitly telling Kim that he is not the marrying type, Kim still interprets Carlos  kindness as wanting her to take care of him forever. Ramon appoints himself Kim s knight in shining armor to protect her against what he sees as Carlos unsavory intentions. If Ramon can only stop yelling and screaming at Carlos long enough, he would find out that Carlos admires Ramon s dedication to Kim. Carlos allows Ramon to take Kim out, which ultimately leads to them eloping.
