Tanpa disadari, sapaan “Ucuy” pun mulai digunakan oleh para anggota Gudskul sebagai sebutan baru untuk “Gudskul” dalam percakapan sehari-hari mereka. Dayu adalah anak dari pasangan Bonit dan Rake. Keluarga kecil ini tinggal tak jauh dari Gudskul. Kedekatan jarak, lingkungan kerja yang fleksibel, serta ketiadaan pengasuh alternatif di rumah membuat Dayu kerap menemani ibunya bekerja.
