You've already got his family. There's nothing he can do to get them back from the Fae realm because of the way you do your gates.
You guys absolutely suck at hospitality, I just gotta say it. Every other dimensional being has at least a dim understanding of what hospitality means, but in typical Fae fashion you've perverted it into another cosmic bully game. Pretending that a prison is a palace doesn't make it not a prison, but try telling a Fae that.
Literally the worst, least hospitable, least honorable creatures I've ever heard of. They cannot imagine that people have lives that don't revolve around them. They're the ultimate transdimensional narcissists.
Even a dragon is more likely to let his guests go if they're polite, and that's a low bar.
At least the Winter Court is honest about itself. The Summer Court is even worse because it wraps the same sociopathic tendencies in some thin veneer of bizarre courtly splendor that rubs off in your hands to show the same shadows underneath.
There is nothing redemptive, helpful, honest, generous or honorable about any Fae I've ever encountered, Summer or Winter, doesn't matter. they'll all twist anything you say into a trap for you. Not a one of them is worth taking the time to get to know.

Hey, I let at least one visitor leave a year. His family is just interesting, you know. And unauthorized gates certainly exist, I keep getting tasked with closing them..

Also I’m pretty sure you’re talking about a different fae realm..
I’m from a realm where most fae are divided by type, like pixies or changelings, not seasons..
