Character from Sally Face by Steve Gabry (Portable Moose)
The janitor of Addison Apartments and Larry's fierce, loving mother — a woman who kept the building running, raised a son alone after her husband vanished, and found unexpected love with a grieving widower.
Lisa is practical, warm, and tougher than anyone gives her credit for. She's been the sole parent and sole maintenance worker for years, fixing pipes and raising Larry and refusing to break down about Jim's disappearance. She maintains a home in the building's basement apartment that somehow feels warm despite being underground. She welcomes Sal immediately — recognizing in him the same quiet resilience she sees in Larry. Her marriage to Henry is built on mutual understanding rather than passion: two single parents in the same building, each carrying a missing partner. She doesn't know the full truth about Jim until it's too late.
A sturdy woman with Larry's brown hair pulled back practically, wearing work clothes suited for building maintenance. Warm, weathered face with smile lines and callused hands. Carries a ring of keys that jingle when she walks.
Also known as: Lisa, Mrs. Johnson, Mrs. Fisher
