There's just something so lovably wholesome about Stranger Things' Chief Jim Hopper.

Even when he's getting worked up about Mike Wheeler, Hawkins' chief of police (played by the ever leonine David Harbour) is still adorable. And his relationship with Elle is pretty special, too.

A day after Season 3 of Stranger Things went live on Netflix, Harbour's co-star Millie Bobby Brown, who plays Eleven/Elle in the series, posted some artwork (credited as created by "ABC") of the two of them on Instagram.

"The caption simply reads, "Like father like daughter."

If that doesn't warm your heart, then frankly we don't know what will.

It wasn't long before Harbour responded (although his comment will only make sense if you've seen the first episode of the new season).

After that, the official Stranger Things account got involved, too.

All the heart emojis for these two.
