Jovan was from Washington, DC and he moved to the small provincial Ohio City after his brother died. When he got to high school in Ohio he became a sexual predator. He treated the women badly and using his charm and wit he beguiled them and pursued
his targets without mercy or without morality.

Janette's Dad explicitly told her not to respond to a player. Since Janette couldn't tell who was a player: she followed her Dad's orders by not interacting at school with any boy she didn't know.

That's how Jovan came to be sitting across the diner table from Janette's Father Mr. Johnson and praising Mrs. Johnson's carrot cake. Mr. Johnson was very intense and intimidating and the effect was heightened by the fact that he seldom talked. Today however, he had a lot of questions of Janette's young man; determined to garner his intentions.

Nineteen years later Jovan sat across the dinner table from his wife Janette and stared intently at his daughter Odette's young boyfriend. He asked a lot of questions, trying to garner the young man's intentions toward his only daughter.
