“I Hate Christmas” Ending: Who Does Gianna Bring Home?
After 24 days of the tedious journey to finding her a boyfriend, we do see that she has invited someone for Christmas but it is not revealed and she keeps it a mystery in the last Episode which leaves a good open plot for a second season.
However, if we look at it carefully, it could be Doctor Umberto because she did not reject him after his heartfelt confession to her. She works with him so she already knows him as well.
Another possibility could be the maintenance person who she turns out to be friends with because they did hit it off. Carlo and Gianna could be too since she left him because of her own fears and not something that Carlo did or behaved and in fact, she was quite attracted to him as well.
