Her transformation from caretaker to central figure in a deadly puzzle is marked by resilience and moral integrity, as she faces threats and manipulations from the Thrombey family, particularly from Ransom Drysdale. As she stands firm amidst the chaos, her journey from trauma to agency encapsulates a captivating tale of survival, revealing that her innate kindness and strong sense of morality are her greatest weapons against the tide of privilege and suspicion.
