Does a non countable subset of the power-set of $\mathbb Z$ exist so that the intersection of any two elements is a finite set?

If we ask for the sets to be pairwise disjoint then the answer is a clear no. I'm pretty stumped, something which may be helpful is that the number of finite subsets of $\mathbb Z$ is countable.

(it's not quite a duplicate, but you can just take a bijection of $\Bbb{Z}$ and $\Bbb{Q}$ to get the result from the other answer) – Peter Woolfitt Sep 05 '15 at 20:44
