In the story
¿Quién es? … Es mi abuela.
Lucía
Great question pattern: ¿quién es? means who is it, or who’s that. Feel the tilt up on quién—kee-EN, with the little accent. Answer is simple: es… plus the person. es mi abuela—my grandma. With photos, this is perfect. Not formal, just…

Say it with Mía. Ask: ¿quién es?… Answer: es mi abuela. Again, a touch slower: ¿quién es?… es mi abuela.
