They were very supportive of her wanting this theme, especially because Lucia was very persistent,” Villarreal told the outlet. “They had to go out of their way to make the pinata and cake special for the occasion because as you can imagine, those aren’t popular requests.”Villarreal added that Lucia doesn’t usually watch scary movies, so it came as a surprise that she took toThe Nun.“I know people seeThe Nunand get scared, but Lucia tells her mom that nun is protecting her,” she said.
