The unnamed waitress was a working mother, becoming widowed when her husband Ray was killed in action, leaving her eight-months pregnant. The night she got the news, she wandered aimlessly through Boston, eventually entering a small restaurant where she spent her last credit on a slice of key-lime pie. Seeing her distress, the restaurant owner promised her a job after her baby was born. She continued to work there for many years. In 2552, she took pity on a crying customer, Rani Sobeck, and helped cheer her up, giving her a free bowl of clam chowder.
