What idea of otis family do you form at the outset of the novel

The Otis family is representative of the new-age American family. Mr Otis is willing to buy the house even though he is made aware of the presence of a ghost in it. He and his family members are not superstitious. It is a happy family that takes its meals together. The children enjoy some mischief, find practical solutions to problems like the appearance of a blood stain in the living room. They are not the least intimidated by the Ghost's scary visage, rather they offer him remedies for his noisy chains and green complexion! The lady of the house is a healthy and handsome woman who is also practical. It is a wealthy and well-known family.
