Mico is Baby's abusive, addicted boyfriend who moves in with Baby and Sticky when the boy is six years old. He is a ne'er-do-well sponger whose only job is as a babysitter to Sticky when Baby is out turning tricks. He is a troubled character whose paternalistic instincts inevitably go toxic. One night, he tries to teach the seven-year-old Sticky how to "be a man" by encouraging him to chase women just as he had done, all while puffing a joint.
