forum Advice on writing a charming character?

I have a guy who is meant to be a simple, yet charming character, but how to do that? He's somewhat shy and sweet, very loving towards his child. The charming and cute kind of guy, who gives his best to be a good single father

Charming how? As in charming that everyone loves him? His looks? His personality? Does he literally charm people to use in his ragtag army meant on overthrowing the old world order?

All jokes aside, I feel that someone who is "simple" feels kinda vague. Simple as in there isn't much to him? There are a lot of Hallmark movies that do the "simple, yet charming" man (though usually, they are far too good-looking for their own good), but they seem to have the right idea. I think the concept is a little murky, but those movies seem to have the right idea. Just in time to watch all of their Fall Specials!
