“In this world, loyalty isn’t given… It’s tested.” In the Mafia Nanny universe, nothing without ripples touching every single one of these people. The story doesn’t just feature them… it revolves around the Mafia Nanny characters, breathes with them, and changes course every time one of them makes a move.
Davina, the brainy hacker with charm sharp enough to cut through steel, keeps drawing closer to Gabriel Angelini, the magnetic underboss whose every decision balances family loyalty and rebellion. Between them is Mikey, Gabriel’s whip-smart son, and Louis, his innocent best friend, whose childhood friendship is somehow caught in the crossfire of mafia politics. And then there’s Raphael Angelini, the Don himself, and his obsession with keeping every family member under his control. Each of them moves the plot in their own way, sometimes by choice, sometimes by accident, and sometimes by betrayal. Together, they’re not just characters… they’re the beating and dangerous hearts of the Mafia Nanny.
The Mafia Nanny, Davina Diavolo
If there’s one person you shouldn’t underestimate, then it’s Davina. The woman who can crack into your life’s history before you’ve even finished your morning coffee. As ENA’s cyber-security specialist and a hacker of frightening skill, she plays the game with a mix of high IQ precision and subtle charm.
On the surface, she can be effortlessly social by slipping into any room with a disarming smile and making herself unforgettable. But that charm is as much a weapon as it is a shield because she is sharpened for survival. Behind the charm lies a past she rarely lets anyone touch, and that is a childhood spent in a powerful mafia family whose empire collapsed in flames during a fateful party… one the Angelinis happened to attend. Coincidence? She doubts it.
Her current position with the Angelinis started as an opportunity and a way to dig deeper into her family’s history and uncover the truth. But the closer she gets, the more dangerous her place becomes. Certain members remain suspicious of her motives while others, like Gabriel Angelini, can’t decide whether she’s a risk… or something worth keeping. Working in the Angelini household puts her in close orbit with Gabriel Angelini, and that’s its own kind of danger. He’s infuriatingly charming, dangerously magnetic, and frustratingly hard to read. Somewhere between suspicious glances and unspoken trust, they’ve built a connection neither of them openly admits. He might never say it, but she knows he trusts her with the most precious thing in his life, and that is Mikey. And whether she likes it or not… Gabriel is starting to become precious to her, too.
The Underboss, Gabriel Angelini
Underboss of the Angelini family and nephew of the Don, Gabriel Angelini is a man who can silence a room with just his presence. Dangerous, magnetic, and far too charming for anyone’s good, he’s the kind of person you can’t help but watch even if you know you shouldn’t.
Beneath the tailored suits and smirks, though, lies one thing that truly defines him, and that is Mikey. His son is his world, and Gabriel would sooner set the whole underworld ablaze than let his son inherit the family business. This same protective instinct extends to Davina, too (though he might not admit it outright). He’s sharp, strategic, and knows how to walk the razor-thin line between protecting those he loves and not pushing his uncle too far. Most days he’s flirty, easygoing, and almost disarmingly personable… but trust is a currency he spends carefully and sparingly. The world has taught him too well that trust can get you killed.
His wife’s death remains a locked vault of a story and the one that Gabriel has no intention of sharing (at least not yet). He wants to tell Davina his truths, but not until she offers hers first. For now, he’ll watch, protect, and suspect in equal measure. Where his path leads is uncertain, but one thing is for sure: in a world as ruthless as the mafia, Gabriel understands better than anyone that loving someone is the riskiest gamble you can take. And yet… he’s already all in.
Michelle Angelini AKA Mikey
Michelle Angelini might just be the most dangerous 4-year-old in the entire mafia world. With both pint-sized menace and irresistible charm, Mikey has a knack for poking his nose into his father Gabriel’s business, draining endless cups of chocolate milk, and spending hours painting alongside Davina and Louis. His artistic talent is striking for his age, but so is the quiet maturity that life in a crime family has forced upon him.
Behind his cheeky smiles and playful sass lies a boy carrying more weight than he should. The death of his mother left a mark so deep that he became fiercely protective of Gabriel and Davina, almost like he was the one looking after them instead of the other way around. His bond with Louis and the way he tries to make a plan to save him showed just how sharp and resourceful he can be, even if his age says otherwise.
Mikey is a contradiction in the best way by being a charming little narcissist one minute and a vulnerable and emotional child the next. He is smart and perceptive, yet still learning about the world. He may not yet know how far Gabriel will go to keep him from inheriting the family’s dark legacy, but his growing connection with Davina is one of the purest threads in an otherwise ruthless web.
The Don, Raphael Angelini
The name Raphael Angelini carries weight in every dark alley and polished boardroom of the mafia world. As the head of the Angelini crime family, Raphael doesn’t simply lead, but he rules. Every member of the family, from the highest-ranking underboss to the newest recruit, lives under his watchful eyes. And no one is watched more closely than his own nephew, Gabriel Angelini.
Raphael has a unique way of keeping his people in line by not with loud threats but with carefully placed jabs, dry mockery, and an unshakable reminder that his word is law. When he mocks Gabriel Angelini, it’s never brutal… but always sharp enough to remind him who truly holds the reins.
His one notable eccentricity? Olives. Raphael doesn’t just enjoy them, but he treats them like a personal ritual. You’ll often find him in his place, sleeves rolled up and preparing a fresh batch the moment the jar runs low. He’ll discuss their brine and texture with the same seriousness he reserves for family business.
But while his hands may be busy with those olives, his mind is always calculating. You will never see Raphael Angelini crack a heartfelt, unguarded smile because every expression, every word, and every glance is measured. Whether he’s making olives or making orders, nothing he does is without purpose. Raphael is the kind of man who can serve you a perfect appetizer while quietly deciding your fate.
Niccolo AKA Nico
One of Gabriel’s most trusted men, Nico is a master of blades and the kind of specialist you don’t see coming until it’s far too late. He’s fiercely loyal to the Angelini household and places trust in those Gabriel Angelini keeps close (Adam, Val, Davina…), though a flicker of suspicion toward Davina lingers. Still, Nico knows Gabriel wouldn’t entrust just anyone with his son’s safety. As one half of the lethal Nico–Val duo, he’s as dependable in a fight as he is unpredictable in personality. He is easygoing and often cracks a joke or acts a little goofy when the moment allows. But Nico has a way of putting people at ease… sometimes too much because that’s when he’s at his most dangerous moment.
Valentine AKA Val
If Nico is the blade you don’t see coming, then Val is the one you feel watching you from the shadows. Gabriel Angelini trusts her implicitly and for good reason, as she is precise, unflinching, and reads people like she’s flipping through an open book. She and Nico operate like a perfectly tuned weapon. If he is the flash of steel, then she is the clean finish afterward. But when it comes to Davina, Val’s instincts are razor-sharp and on constant high alert. She doesn’t hide her suspicion; in fact, she lets Davina know she’s watching. It’s not personal, but Val has just simply been in this world long enough to understand that anyone with too many secrets is a risk, no matter how much Gabriel Angelini vouches for them.
Cool under pressure and unafraid to speak her mind, Val is the kind of person you’d want on your side in a crisis. Also, the last one you’d want questioning your motives. Because once she decides you’re hiding something, she’ll dig until she finds it. And Val always finds it.
Adam
Adam is the entertainer of Gabriel’s crew by being the life of the party, the smooth talker, and the guy you’d swear was born for sunshine and sea breeze. His easygoing charm hides a razor-sharp skill set, honed from his past experience as a pro-racer. That speed, precision, and thrill for risk-taking are exactly how he first crossed paths with Gabriel Angelini when, during one of the underboss’s missions, Adam’s driving pulled off an escape that became the stuff of quiet mafia legend.
Adam is social, magnetic, and almost annoyingly good-looking. He is the type you might spot sprawled out on a beach chair with a drink in hand… only to find out later that he was there on a mission the entire time. He’s just as comfortable blending into a crowd as he is roaring down an open highway at 200 km/h. But beyond the charm and skills, Adam is a true friend to Gabriel. He is the kind who has Gabriel’s back both on the job and off. He’s also the crew’s number-one “Daviel” shipper, who is constantly nudging Gabriel Angelini toward Davina and dropping shameless hints like “your girl”.
Adam gets along easily with Davina, too, being far more trusting of her than Val and Nico. He often goes with the flow rather than questioning her every move. Adam’s presence is like a break in the tension until the moment he decides it’s time to hit the gas. Then you remember why Gabriel Angelini trusts him with his life
Mikey’s Best Friend, Louis
Louis Lavigne is son of the formidable head of the French mafia in Lyon (his mother) and, oddly enough, a perfectly ordinary dentist (his father). He may not have Mikey’s sharp, calculating instincts, but what he lacks in street smarts, he makes up for it in warmth, loyalty, and a pure-hearted sweetness that’s rare to find.
He first met Mikey in an art class, and the two became inseparable almost instantly. Where Mikey is cautious and strategic, Louis is open and trusting, seeing the world with wide-eyed curiosity. He knows his mother deals with ‘bad-people’ people, but in his heart, she’s just his Maman, and his father is simply the safe & reliable dentist he has always known. But when push comes to shove, Louis tries his best to be brave and smart in his own way. When he was held hostage aboard a ship, he asked himself what Mikey would do… and then did exactly what seemed answerable to him… to leap into the water and swim until he found safety.
Together, Louis and Mikey share a bond that’s both heartwarming and unshakable. They spend their happiest moments spotting ducks, splashing in the pool, and indulging in gelato and ice cream without a care in the world. Louis might not be the most cunning child in the “Mafia Nanny” world, but he’s easily one of the most lovable and the kind of character you couldn’t hate even if you tried.
Signora Conte
Conte is the definition of elegance wrapped in steel. On the surface, she is the refined, graceful matriarch figure who can command respect with nothing more than a glance. In reality, she’s the Angelini family’s quiet but unwavering pillar and someone whose influence flows through whispers and perfectly-timed interventions.
Her loyalty to the Angelinis runs deep, but not necessarily to all of them. Behind the scenes, she quietly reports Gabriel’s every move to the Don. It’s not malice in her eyes but duty. Yet in Gabriel’s eyes, it’s a breach that makes her presence… less trusted. She has an uncanny ability to read people, seeing the truths they’d rather keep buried and deciding in a heartbeat whether they’re worth protecting or eliminating. With Davina, she maintains a polite, measured distance, being neither outright hostile nor welcoming but always… watching.
Every word she speaks has weight, and every move she makes has a purpose. Cross her once, and you’ll realize just how dangerous grace can be.
ENA’s Headmistress Amelia Bremerton
The formidable head of ENA (Elite Nanny Academy), Amelia Bremerton, is the gold standard of what a nanny and a leader should be. To the outside world, she’s the composed and unshakable force who can mold anyone into an elite caretaker. But to those who know her closely, she’s the embodiment of fierce love and unyielding protection.
For Davina, Amelia Bremerton is far more than a mentor as she’s the woman who saved her life. Years ago, when Davina’s family mansion was engulfed in flames during a violent mafia attack, Amelia was the one who carried a terrified 12-year-old out of the fire. From that day, she sheltered Davina in ENA, training her into one of the academy’s finest nannies while carefully erasing the mafia ties from her past and giving her the security she desperately needed.
Amelia treats Davina like her own child by watching her victories with pride and worrying over her safety in silence. She once told Davina that if she ever felt like quitting, ENA’s doors would always be open for her. Fierce in the face of danger yet endlessly compassionate toward children. She is a mother, teacher, protector, and force of nature all rolled into one.
The Computer Specialist, Wiz
Wiz is the Don’s personal computer specialist and trusted private assistant. He is rarely seen without the glow of multiple monitors reflecting off his eccentric and fashion-forward outfits. His style choices often earn playful jabs from the Angelinis, but Wiz embraces the attention. He knows his skills speak louder than any teasing. A master of hacking, surveillance, and digital warfare, he can trace, decode, and infiltrate systems faster than most people can blink.
But recently, his attention has been locked on Gabriel’s new nanny, Davina. Wiz has tried to dig into her past, only to find it scrubbed clean (too clean). The precision of the erasure tells him that whoever hid her history knew exactly what they were doing. While he suspects there’s more to her than meets the eye, he also understands that Gabriel Angelini would never hire just anyone to care for Mikey. Still, the mystery gnaws at him, and until he finds answers, Wiz will keep digging.
Louis’s Nanny, Josephine
Jo is the newly assigned nanny for Louis. She has a gentle presence in the middle of a world run by sharp edges and dangerous deals. Simple, grounded, and unaccustomed to the chaos of mafia life, she brings a rare softness into the picture. While she’s no stranger to love, having dated a girl in the past, her personal life is something she wears quietly, letting her care and actions speak instead.
Her innocence, however, doesn’t mean she’s helpless. When danger calls, Jo can muster a quiet bravery that surprises even those who underestimate her. Unfortunately, the mafia’s lifestyle comes with more than emotional turbulence as poor Jo suffers from motion sickness. Still, she’s determined to protect Louis no matter how rough the road (or the sea) may get.
Madam Lavigne
The formidable head of the French mafia in Lyon, Madam Lavigne, is as elegant as she is deadly. Fierce, calculating, and often perceived as cold-blooded, she is a woman who commands both fear and respect in equal measure. But behind her steeliness lies an unshakable love for her son, Louis. A love so deep that even her enemies can see it.
Once tangled in dangerous rivalries with the Angelinis, but now she’s reached an uneasy truce. When Louis was taken hostage, and she was ordered to exchange Mikey for his release, she refused without hesitation and showed us a move that revealed both her ruthlessness and her unwillingness to bend to threats. Her husband, oddly enough, is a dentist, which makes this a curious detail that contrasts sharply with her blood-soaked world. Though much about Madam Lavigne remains hidden, perhaps her darkest secrets will surface in the episodes to come.
Breixo
A “new blood” in the Corsican mafia, Breixo initially seemed like little more than a background figure until his ruthless side surfaced. In a calculated move, he kidnapped Madam Lavigne’s son, Louis, holding him hostage and demanding an exchange for Mikey. When Lavigne refused, it became clear that Breixo wasn’t just dangerous; he was willing to challenge even the most powerful names in the mafia world.</p>
But Breixo’s threat runs deeper than his schemes. He knows something about Davina’s past. A past Davina has worked tirelessly to erase. Long ago, when Breixo was still a child, his nanny from the Elite Nanny Academy (ENA) failed her mission. That failure planted a seed of obsession. Over the years, Breixo researched ENA, keeping its members and especially Davina in his sights. How much he truly knows remains a mystery, but his interest in her is anything but casual.
The “Doctor”
Feared across the underworld, The Doctor is the Angelinis’ most infamous weapon. She is a ruthless, unhinged interrogator who serves directly under the Don. Her nickname isn’t just for show because she “treats” her victims like patients, using an arsenal of “medicines,” scalpels, and precision tools. Though there’s a catch, her version of care ensures the patient never leaves the table alive. Cold and disturbingly methodical, The Doctor thrives on slow and excruciating deaths. She extracts every last piece of information before ending her target’s suffering or prolonging it, which depends on her mood. In the Angelinis’ world, when The Doctor is sent, it’s already too late for her target to regret.
In Mafia Nanny, no one is just a side character. Every single one of them carries a secret, a motive, and the power to change the game. Allies turn into enemies, enemies into protectors, and trust is the rarest currency of all. One thing is certain: with this cast, the next twist is never far away!
