Aunt Susan is diagnosed with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and people brush this off thinking that it’s just an exaggeration and a result of her being too meticulous. Aunt Susan has learned how to live with this disorder for many years now and one can say it’s become one of her trait.

During Aunt Susan’s employment years she has enjoyed the company of Julia, her 11 year- old next door neighbor. The little girl would visit her in the afternoon for some cookies and stories whenever the girl felt like their home was too noisy.
