Jayden
Twists, glasses, green hoodie, controller in hand. Quick with a comeback, quicker with an excuse — and his heart always shows up by the end.
Yavashea Presents
Est. for every family room — No pause on ambitionPauseButton.
Jayden is 11, he's mid-game, and he is not ready to stop. Every story starts with the same battle every family knows — and ends somewhere nobody saw coming.

01 — THE CAST
Meet the Carters
One family. Zero chill about game time.
Quick comebacks, real love, and a little sister who misses nothing. This is the family at the center of the show, the games, and the book.
Maya
Purple bows, big opinions. She sees everything, says it out loud, and is usually right — which is exactly the problem.
Mom
Spiral curls, gold headband, mustard sweater — and a clipboard that ends arguments. She does not play about chores, homework, or bedtime.
Dad
Beard, varsity jacket, and a laugh that gives him away. He tries to be the tough one. The kids know better.
Pickles
The family beagle. Trail-finder, crumb-cleaner, and the only one who can locate a lost controller by smell.
Dez
Jayden's gaming partner and host of Pause or Play? — big energy, bigger reactions, always talking in the headset.
Trey
Jayden's age, debates everything, backs down from nothing. If there's a point to argue, Trey already has three.

About the Show
Made for the whole family
Pause Button is a family-made animated series about a kid who never wants to pause his game — and the family who loves him through every “five more minutes.” Kids see themselves. Parents see their living room. Everybody laughs, and every story carries something worth keeping.
01
Fun
Big reactions, quotable comebacks, friend-group chaos. If it's not fun first, it doesn't ship.
02
Entertaining
Every scene has a point and a punchline — written to hold kids, teenagers, and the adults watching with them.
03
Educational
Real lessons ride inside the story — fractions, honesty, trust, and knowing when to wait your turn.
04
Value-Driven
Family first, every time. The game always pauses eventually — the people don't.
Hit Pause.
Press Play.
Watch the show on YouTube — then come back and play the games, read the book, and listen on the ride home.
