Though at this point it is being established that Charlene is Winston and Kaila's oldest child, she is not necessarily their only one

1997
Late in the year, the original Ghostbusters are reunited by the efforts of Janine Melnitz. Winston and his family return to New York in early 1998, and resume activities with the company. At some point by 2004, Charlene develops a crush on GBNY employee Roland Jackson.

Future Fate:
By 2023, Charlene is involved with her father's company in some capacity. She at the very least reports to GBI HQ on the status of the Eiffel Tower's containment system
One possibility is that Charlene is a founder, member, or advisor to a GBI franchise based in Paris. This has not been established, however
