It's Grandpa. There's a rule in the English language that says something like "if it's like you're saying the name of someone, capitalize it". Example - Grandpa, please help me. Grandpa can be replaced with a name and it would still make sense to the sentence.

OpenStudy (inowalst):

In this sentence, they are using "Grandpa" as a name for the man. Otherwise, it would be something like, "My grandpa..."

OpenStudy (rayman5766):

sorry guys I am here it I was gone for a bit sorry about that

@inowalst I was trying to think of an example where you couldn't replace it with a name, but I went blank! You're completely correct.
