Hi! I'm hoping to participate in a Twitter pitch event tomorrow. My story is set in my native country where the protagonist refers to his Grandpa as Seeya. Should I use the word Grandpa or Seeya when writing the pitch?

Could you do both? "...where his Seeya (Grandpa) lives," for instance.

I agree, if you have the character count, I would use both!
