1. father-figure

   A father-figure is usually an older man who acts as a guiding force in someone's life. He may offer advice, guidance, support, and protection, often fulfilling the parental role and responsibilities. This person may not necessarily be a biological father, but is characterized by their ability to provide direction, inspiration, and life lessons, much like a traditional father would.
