Mendoza’s grandfather Alberto Espino was also quick to admire Mendoza’s kindness, though he admitted that he’s a little biased. He calls this bias, this innate affection of a grandparent, “irrational love.”
Beyond being endlessly proud of Mendoza, Espino explained that he only has daughters and had always wanted a son. In a sense, he says Mendoza became a son to him.
