The Teacher/Hannah
An older woman who runs an antique shop. Hannah sends Connor and Risa to her, and they discover that Sonia actually maintains a safe house for Unwinds in her basement. Before the Unwinds leave her basement, she asks each one to write a letter to someone important that she promises to mail in the event that the teen doesn’t return for their letter once they’re too old to be unwound. This earns her Connor’s respect.
