Sylvie is an old family friend of Addie's. Their mothers were extremely close in college,
and still keep in touch with each other after all of these years. When Addie ended up
unemployed in San Francisco, it only took a phone call for Sylvie to set her up with a temporary
job working at her shop. That was more than a year ago.
Born and raised in New Orleans, Sylvie spent a restless youth traveling around the world,
with extended stays in Prague and Madrid. Eventually, she returned to the States and
put down roots in San Francisco, opening a small coffee shop in a quiet Upper Nob Hill
neighborhood, where she manages to make just barely more than necessary to cover the store rent
and expenses.
We suspect she's experienced quite a bit in her travels, but she just gives a wry smile
when asked about her past and leaves it at that.
