| Family | George (Husband) Alex (Grandson) |
Evelyn is the kindly grandmother of Pelican Town, married to George and raising their grandson Alex at 1 River Road. She has lived in the town her whole life, looks after its flower gardens and bakes cookies for anyone who visits. On first meeting she invites the farmer to call her "Granny". She is one of the most welcoming villagers in the valley, and her loved gifts include the Tulip and the Beet, two cheap crops that make her an easy early friend. Her friendship also teaches the Cookie and Rice Pudding recipes, both learned only from her.
Lore
Evelyn is warm, hopeful and gentle, and she loves to reminisce about the valley's past. She remembers seeing the Moonlight Jellies as a little girl and jumping for joy when they arrived. She tells the story of how she and George first met at the Festival of Ice, when he hit her with a snowball and came over to check that she was all right.
She spends her days tending the town gardens and arranges the flowers for the Flower Dance herself. In Winter, when the beds are under snow, she still checks on them. Baking is her other joy. Her cookie recipe came from her own mother, and she notices that visitors seem to appear whenever she starts baking.
Her life has known sorrow too. Her daughter, Clara, died years ago and left a letter asking Evelyn and George to give Alex a stable home. Evelyn has cared for her grandson ever since, and Alex adores her for it.
Schedule
Evelyn spends her mornings in the kitchen and later stands with George by the television. On a normal afternoon she goes out to tend the plants near the town square, then comes home to her kitchen and her bookcase in the evening. On rainy days she stays indoors.
On Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays, once the Community Center is restored, she spends the afternoon in an armchair in its Crafts Room. She has a check-up at Harvey's Clinic on the 2nd of every season. On the 23rd she goes back with George for his appointment. She also visits the Night Market in Winter.
Relationships
Evelyn is devoted to George, though she wishes he would spend less time in front of that "darned television set" and get some fresh air. She often tells the farmer not to mind George's grumpy manner, because he warms up to people in time. She loves Alex dearly, and he openly says she is his favourite.
Gifts
Evelyn loves Tulips, Beets, Fairy Roses, Chocolate Cake, Stuffing, Raisins and Diamonds, plus the universal loves. A Tulip is the cheapest of these, because its bulbs are inexpensive and it grows quickly in Spring. Beets are a good choice in Fall once the Oasis seed shop is open. Fairy Roses suit her well too, and they also feed bees for valuable honey.
She likes Daffodils and most beach forage, which she says brings back sweet memories. She is even pleased to receive a pair of Broken Glasses, thinking they are the reading glasses she lost. Fish dishes and strong flavours are poor choices. She hates Garlic, Spice Berries, Salmonberries, Holly and Clay, and she hates fish dishes such as Sashimi, Maki Roll, Trout Soup, Fried Eel and Spicy Eel. Gifts on her birthday in Winter count eight times as much.
These gifts are the ones this villager loves most.

Heart Events
At any friendship above zero, Evelyn may mail the farmer something from her kitchen, such as Bread, a Cookie or Chocolate Cake. The chance grows as friendship rises.
At four hearts, the farmer enters her house and finds her baking cookies. She offers one and asks for an opinion. Saying it is delicious earns a large friendship boost, while comparing it to a hockey puck costs just as much. She shares the Cookie recipe either way.
At seven hearts she mails the recipe for Rice Pudding.
Notes
Evelyn starts the story quest Granny's Gift by letter in a later Spring. She asks for a Leek, and the reward is 500g and a heart of friendship. Leeks grow wild in Spring, so the quest is easy to finish. She may also post item requests on the Help Wanted board outside Pierre's General Store.
