Grandma Jefferson
Grandma Jefferson is Alex Jefferson's practical, strong willed grandmother, who shares a farm with her equally stubborn husband. She eats early, serves prunes, cooks unpredictably, and accepts duct tape as a solution to almost anything. Beneath the cheerful complaints, Grandma knows exactly what her husband values. When a developer offers $350,000 for the farm, she hides and rejects the proposal because selling would take away the home he loves. Grandpa has made a secret sacrifice of his own, selling the cows to fund the Alaska trip she has always wanted. Once both truths emerge, the couple forgives each other and returns to affectionate grumbling. Grandma's loyalty helps Alex recognize that love often hides inside ordinary irritation, compromise, and long familiarity.
