Estina is Dany’s aunt, who raises him in Haiti after his parents are killed. A blind woman and midwife, she is a highly respected and adored member of her village community. Like Dany, she sleep talks. After Dany moves to the U.S., Estina also informally adopts Claude, a young Haitian American man deported back to Haiti after killing his father. Estina dies during Dany’s visit back to Haiti, leading the villagers to believe that she “called” him back to see him before she passed.
