Outside this window there is effectively no good overlap for regular office hours.
Best time for family calls
Chicago and São Paulo have a comfortable window for a family call — no awkward alarms required. Chicago is 2 hours behind São Paulo, which gives you about an hour of genuine overlap when both sides are free.
