Alex was recommended to Cat as a reliable boda boda driver (motorbike taxi), when she was new to his home town in Uganda. Every day he drove her to the nursery she was volunteering at. A few weeks later, in stilted English, he asked her on a date and told her he loved her. In the seven years since, they have built a village primary school and just had their second baby. Alex doesn’t drive the boda boda anymore as Cat feels it's too risky for a dad. While he is the primary parent, she runs the school.
