In "On Monday of Last Week," Tracy is an African-American artist. She works alone in the basement of the home she shares with her husband Neil, and seldom sees her son Josh. She has a magnetic personality and habitually asks women that she meets, including Kamara and Josh's French teacher, to model for her. She tells Kamara that "the motherland" (Africa) informs her art.
