Jane is Hina's supervisor for the Ontario Reads Literacy Program. We only have access to her via her emails to Hina, but she (Jane) comes across as rather fake, self-assured, and holier-than-thou. She is full of excessive "thank you's" and "let's get together for coffee and talk about this"; at the same time, she makes subtle accusations about Hina's comprehension of her job description and seems to want her to go above and beyond without compensation. When she criticizes Hina's choice to take a mental health day after Laura's death, suggesting that it is unprofessional, Hina contacts her union representative and Jane is removed from the position.
