Who is Mehri? How does she come to join Marjis family? How does Marjis view her? How does Mehri view Marji?

Mehri is Marjane's nanny and maid. She was taken in by the Satrapi's as a young child because her impoverished family could not support her. Mehri falls in love with a neighborhood boy but she cannot be with him because she is from a lower social class than he is. Despite being the maid, Mehri was more like the older sister Marjane never had. 

Mahdi is the maid assigned to Marji and her family.
