J. Hafe is a twenty-something Nanny living in New England. She spends most of her time with friends waxing poetically on love, morals, and her own lack thereof. She lives a quiet life on the riverfront with her two roomates (a nice couple she met through friends) and her pets; Otis the angry old man cat, V the vengeful turtle, and last but not least Mr. and Mrs. Chicken (a pair of button quails adopted from a moving friend)
