Melissa is Vincent’s childhood friend from Caiette. Vincent and Melissa eventually live together in Vancouver. In her youth, Melissa is a frequent partier, and this behavior will develop into a substance abuse problem. After recovering from her addiction, Melissa gets a job working alongside Vincent and Paul at the Hotel Caiette in the 2000s, working as a chauffeur, driving visitors to the remote hotel by boat. Paul steals and uses video footage that Vincent shot of a teenage Melissa playing along the shoreline in Caiette for his musical composition, “Melissa in the Water,” which he premiers at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in 2008.
