A protector of the innocent. Maybe she didn’t do the best job when she was younger and a mom herself — her daughter says as much in the movie — but now she’s sure as hell going to make sure that her grandson doesn’t suffer. Her years have given her wisdom, patience, a sense of humor — and an appreciation of the magic that exists if only we go looking hard enough. It’s not an easy decision for her to betray her own daughter by calling her former son-in-law and telling him she suspects abuse. She feels guilty that she didn’t notice sooner what her grandson Lucian was going through. Blaming her daughter’s eccentricities for his missed meals and making excuses for her. But now the ill-treatment is impossible to deny. And Grandma spurs into action to make sure Lucian has a childhood worth remembering.
