I was doing the laundry when I had the BEST IDEA EVER for a character.
When I made guardians for a shop like Angels Feathers and Museum, I drew from an ecclectic family of crazy explorers by the name of Lute.
I think I'm going to play their crotchety old grandpa here and bring the two siblings in.
Since the shops I played them in died, Can I bring in the kids they were caring for (an angel mermaid and a firefly girl)
(Yes I know. Angel mermaid. shush. Shes in her teens now and wants to be a linguist.)
Unfortunately, that probably won't work, I'm sorry.

The abnormal side of things are more for the Scents themselves, not the caretakers. There are a few cases where the caretakers aren't human, but they are either very secretive about what they are or have a reasonable explanation.
For example, I have a feline-ish female for one of my guardians, though she is very paranoid about going out. And when she does, she makes sure to cover up her tail and ears well, as anyone that isn't human isn't well received right now in this world. If people know what you are, that you're different, you are in danger. And as Crim mentioned about her character as well, they can't take on normal jobs. Life can be/is dangerous and at times very unpleasant for those who are different from the majority.
