Biography[]

She is friendly with him while interacting, asking him about his job and joking about his inability to pay her. She also is said to like Abby, though she can't get her to eat dinner. Although he states he is unable to pay her due to not having a sustainable job. Little does Mike know, she is secretly working for his Aunt Jane and searching for incriminating evidence to have Abby taken away and given to his Aunt. However, she is unable to find anything aside from the fact that Mike sleeps a lot. She still asks for payment for her work, which is denied.
They were tasked by Jane Schmidt to go down to Freddy Fazbear's Pizza and vandalize the restaurant. This was in order to frame Mike Schmidt and get him fired for criminal negligence, that way Abby Schmidt's custody would go to her.

However, she still puts her well-being ahead of theirs, being the one to bring up Mike's new security job and thus the plan to ruin it.
