immediate
When using "immediate" to describe time, it means something happens right now without any delay. When talking about people or family, "immediate" refers to the closest relatives (like parents and children), rather than extended family like cousins or aunts. Be careful not to confuse this with "imminent," which means something is likely to happen very soon, but hasn't happened yet.
