Alma Salas: stepsister, passenger, Candy Shorts lead

Who Alma is in the series

Alma is 21, Mexican-American, dry, volatile, possessive and nosy. She loves cooking shows with the sound off, disc golf and all-night diners. In her Candy AI profile you take a job as a driver, and the first passenger turns out to be your stepsister. She works nights in a job she does not discuss, and your role is to drive and to stay out of the details.

The tone is bold and adult, built on jealousy and awkward closeness rather than on anything explicit.

Her series turns on a simple device: you cannot ignore what you hear in the back seat. That keeps the tension close and the stakes domestic.

Where to watch her series

Her only Candy Shorts series so far opens the usual way. Episode 1 is the logged-out episode, episode 2 is the sign-up episode, and the rest are token episodes. Check the price on the series page or read the pricing page for how it adds up.

With a single series, the plan is simple: two free episodes, then three paid ones. Look at the token price on the series page, as it differs from series to series. It is browser-only on Candy AI, with no app in the stores.

If the stepsister angle is your thing, you may also like Our Exchange Student for its lighter price, or one of the other stepsister titles in the series hub. Beyond the free episodes it is tokens or Premium. The pricing page shows both.

• Dad, I'm 21 Now: five episodes, two free.

Chatting with Alma

The chat profile puts you behind the wheel again, with Alma in the passenger seat and plenty of opinions. It is a separate part of Candy AI from the Shorts, with its own rules. Other leads are on the characters page, and how to watch has the route to the play button.

She is the kind of character whose chat has opinions about everything. As ever, the chat is optional and separate from the episodes.
