The Narrator’s Mother
The narrator’s daughter is another person whom the narrator financially supports. She lives with her two kids and deadbeat husband in a trailer, and she keeps telling the narrator that she just needs a little more money to get back on her feet. Eventually, the narrator’s daughter takes a job working long shifts at a salmon cannery, but she need money to pay a babysitter who can watch her kids all day. During her first day at the cannery, someone breaks into her trailer and steals all the furniture. Her husband is nowhere to be found, so she asks the narrator for more money to replace what was stolen.
