Inez Olivares is Isabella and Antonio Olivares’s daughter. Inez, in her 40s and unmarried, lives in New Orleans, though she comes to visit her family in Santa Fé once a year. Unlike her highly spirited parents, Inez has a more isolated life, as she spends much of her time in church and lives almost like a nun. Inez has no real income of her own, so protecting Inez’s financial security is one of the major reasons Isabella comes clean about her age in court.
