Aya-Mei Mendoza is an ambitious and determined young woman who recently moved to Los Santos to pursue her lifelong dream of working for the FIB. She grew up in the beautiful town of Seongjin, South Korea, where she enjoyed a beautiful childhood with her mother, Hana Park, and her stepfather. Aya’s father, Eduardo Gustav Mendoza, a Serbian businessman who traveled frequently, had a short affair with her mother during one of his trips to South Korea. Despite the brief nature of their relationship, Eduardo remained involved in Aya's life, though he primarily raised his older son, Nicholas Mendoza.
During summer vacations, Eduardo would take Aya to the U.S., where she bonded with her half-brother, Nicholas. Although Nicholas and Aya had different mothers, they formed a deep connection, with Nicholas often teasing Aya lovingly while remaining protective of her.

== Background Information ==
Aya-Mei Mendoza was born and raised in the small town of Seongjin, South Korea. Her mother, Hana Park, had a brief relationship with Aya’s father, Eduardo Gustav Mendoza, when he visited South Korea during one of his business trips. Eduardo, a Serbian businessman who traveled frequently, already had a son, Nicholas, from a previous relationship in the United States. Although Eduardo’s relationship with Hana was short-lived, he kept in contact with Aya and her mother, ensuring that Aya spent time with him and Nicholas during summer vacations in the U.S.
Eduardo wasn’t a consistent presence in Aya’s life, but she still looked forward to her visits with him and Nicholas. Her father was much more involved in raising Nicholas, but he made an effort to include Aya during his trips to the States. Aya admired her older brother, and their bond grew stronger as they spent time together each summer.
When Aya was 15, her mother married an American man, and the family moved to the United States. From there, Aya continued her education, excelling in her studies and earning a degree in business management, as well as a side degree in forensic psychology and psychology. Determined to follow her dreams, she moved to Los Santos as an adult, where her brother Nicholas helped her settle in. She applied to the FIB and was accepted as a Clerk, grateful for the opportunity to start her career in law enforcement.

He primarily focused on raising his older son, Nicholas, in the United States but maintained contact with Aya, taking her to the U.S. for summer vacations.
