[Koha] Getting guarantor information in notices

Hello dear community!

I'm wondering if it's possible to access guarantor information for 
notices? We recently upgraded our Kohas to 20.05 from 19.05. One of the 
notices goes like this

     <<borrowers.firstname>> <<borrowers.surname>><br/>
[% IF borrower.guarantorid %] C/O [% borrower.contactfirstname %] [% 
borrower.contactname %]<br/>[% END %]
     <<borrowers.address>> <<borrowers.address2>><br/>
     <<borrowers.city>> (<<borrowers.state>>) <<borrowers.zipcode>>

The second line is if the patron has a guarantor, write Care of (C/O) 
the guarantor's name. This is for Overdues notices sent by mail to 
patrons. It is not logical for us to send overdue notices to children, 
so we write Care of the parent.

In 20.05, the database structure changed to accommodate multiple 
guarantors per guarantee.

Does anyone know if there is a way to access the guarantor information 
in notices? I'm not very familiar with TT syntax so I have no idea how 
to indicate this "borrower" is the guarantee and this other "borrower" 
is the guarantor...

Thank you so much!

Caroline
