LOS ANGELES — Seventy-four-year-old Viktor Vasyliev — arms outstretched and smiling broadly — greeted Raul Villagra and his wife, Cristina Araya, with a warm embrace.
Standing nearby, his daughter Alina Vasyliev shook her head and laughed. "My father would have never kissed anyone 'hello' before he met Raul and Cristina," she said. "It's like this every weekend at our house: My parents speak Russian. My in-laws speak Spanish. But somehow they communicate."
The three families were lingering inside the accessory dwelling unit, or ADU, located behind Alina and Daniel Villagra's newly built home in the Los Angeles area.
