Gender and possessive adjectives for professions

I have a question about constructions like this: "Omar y Cristina son nuestros panaderos," e.g. "Omar and Cristina are our bakers." I understand it is "nuestros" because it is the nosotros form of the possessive adjective. However, I'm confused about the gender. Why is it masculine here?

Excelente epílogo en memoria de Fernando Botero"The most Colombian of Colombian artists." I am not a Colombian native although Colombia has been my second residence for more than 15 years. I've had the pleasure of viewing Botero's works in Cartagena, Bogotá, and Medellín. Botero is as equally heralded as the personification of Colombian culture as Gabriel Garcia Márquez, both geniuses in their own right. Revisar el recuerdo de mi primera experiencia viendo el arte sumamente singular de Botero en la Plaza Botero, Medellín, frente al Museo de Antioquia, me deja con algo de melancolía al saber que perdimos una de las voces más influyentes de nuestra época. Nevertheless, thank you for giving recognition to one of Colombia's most gifted and cherished individuals through a delightful, brief biography!

articles in front of non-paying lifestyles

What about using an article in front of being a stay at home parent? Soy madre. Soy padre. Is there an equivalent of this in the Spanish language?

Les habría cogido (vs Habrían cogido)¿Les habría cogido el alud? Hola, I’m confused about the construction “les habría cogido”. Does coger require “a” after it, therefore “les”? Habrían cogido makes more sense to me. Muchas gracias.

Hubiste de tener cuidadoI answered that the translation is "You should have been careful." However, the correct answer was "You had to be careful." I'm not sure why my answer was not also correct.
