Forty-year-old vendor Gina Martinis eager to be selected as this month's winner of THE STAR's Paternity Puzzle as she seeks closure on whether her nine year-old daughter belongs to 58-year-old farmer Robert Stennett.

Martin met Stennett at an ackee factory somewhere in Old Harbour, St Catherine and the two began a relationship.

Martin: "It was at an ackee factory near to where I live that I met him. Me and him not in a relationship now."

Stennett: "We actually lived nearby. We met and then we move on from there as friends."

A year following their meeting, Martin became pregnant for Stennett.

Martin: "It wasn't a long time about a year."

Stennett: "We were dealing for about a year."

Martin says she has doubts that the child is his because she had been seeing another man during the time she was with Stennett.

"Excuse me, sir, I am going to be honest with you. I was talking to another man. That man push up on me. Mr use to take care of me and the child, but because the child's name is not in his name, it's causing a little eruption.

Stennett, however, believes that the child is his and claims she looks like him.

"Is my child. When she get pregnant, I told her when the child would be born. She don't put the child in my name but I take care of her same way.

Stennett reiterated that the child is his and that she resembled him.

Stennett: "Me and my child we can't hide".

He also stated that there were no doubts in the community that the child is his.
