Grandma's 55-year-old daughter,Mommy, is a domineering and outspoken person. Mommy has very little respect for those around her, including her own mother, and often tends towards cruelty. She operates under the delusion that she has cared well for her mother and affects sadness at the prospect of her death, but quickly moves on. Daddy is the 60-year-old wealthy husband of Mommy. Daddy is extremely passive and does whatever Mommy asks of him, having very few opinions of his own.
