Lillian Faranado, 29, is of Colombian and Mexican descent. Lillian’s mother, Mireya Faranado, and her half-brother, Roberto “Bobby” Faranado, 35, are Colombian immigrants. Her father, Don Carlito Soto, is of Mexican descent, and she was conceived while he was on leave from the Army in Cartagena, Colombia, with his Army buddy Lucas Pirelli. 

After learning that he had a two-year-old daughter, a prideful Don Carlito arranged for Mireya, Bobby, and baby Lillian to move to Key West, Florida, where he had moved after retiring from the Army. When Lillian was 8, Mireya died mysteriously. Her father moved her to Calico Aster, where he helped his Army buddy, Lucas Pirelli, run his business, Midland Casino, while her brother went to live with his biological father in Miami. A natural introvert, she’s never left Calico Aster since relocating.

With her father’s financial support, she attended CASU, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in economics and a master's degree in finance. After finishing school, she worked with her father to organize his casino’s finances, helping grow the business significantly. In the spring of 2025, Lillian Faranado purchased Corner Joe’s Tacos and rebranded the company as Los Conejos De Taco (The Taco Rabbits), with two rabbit mascots — an older male rabbit resembling her father and a younger pink female rabbit resembling herself.
