How to map an array when the objects don't have the same features ?

I try to map an array of objects to a simple array but sometimes the objects don’t have the same features.

For instance, some objects have a value of “father” or “mother”. How can I map the array of objects to the simple array with no value if father doesn’t exist in the original object ?

Here is the Observable notebook with the example: Example / PAC | Observable

Thank you so much for your answer.
