George is the grumpy old man of Pelican Town, married to Evelyn and living with their grandson Alex at 1 River Road. He uses a wheelchair, spends most of his day in front of the television and greets newcomers by telling them to buzz off. Under the gruff surface he is a gentle soul who misses his younger days, and he softens a great deal once the farmer earns his trust. He is easy to please with the right gift, because he loves Leeks, a free Spring forage, and the Fried Mushroom. His friendship also brings two eel recipes and a small story quest in Summer.
Lore
George is blunt, impatient and proud of it. He says he is not much of a talker, especially with strangers, and he often cuts conversations short because his favourite programme is on. He grumbles about the cold, the noise at festivals and the way sweaters are made these days. Retirement, he says, means every day is the same as the weekend.
He has a soft spot for farming. His own grandfather was a farmer, and he calls it honest, respectable work. He says that if he were not so old, he would come to the farm and show the farmer a thing or two.
Life has been hard on him. His daughter, Clara, died years ago, and he and Evelyn took in her son Alex. He has also lost the use of his legs, and he finds it hard to accept help. In Penny's two-heart event, she sees him struggling to reach his mailbox and helps without asking, which only makes him cross.
Schedule
George spends most days at home, moving between the television and the kitchen table, and he heads to bed early in the evening. On Sundays he visits the Statue of Yoba inside Pierre's house in the late morning. On Fridays in Summer he sits outside under the tree west of his house at midday. On the 23rd of every season he goes to Harvey's Clinic with Evelyn for his check-up. He also visits the Night Market in Winter.
After Alex's fourteen-heart event, George joins the gridball fans in the back room of the Stardrop Saloon on Sunday afternoons.
Relationships
George is married to Evelyn, who looks after him and wishes he would go outside more. He loves his grandson Alex, even if he shows it in a gruff way. Alex jokes that he loves his grandmother more than his grandfather. Harvey treats George at the clinic.
Gifts
George loves Leeks and the Fried Mushroom, plus the universal loves. Leeks grow wild all over the valley in Spring, so a few saved in a chest make easy loved gifts all year. Cooking a Common Mushroom with a Morel and Oil makes Fried Mushroom, and its recipe comes from Demetrius.
He likes Daffodils, but most flowers leave him cold, and he dislikes many of them. He also dislikes Salmonberry and Wild Horseradish. He hates Clay, Dandelions, Holly and Quartz. Gifts on his birthday in Fall count eight times as much. At the Movie Theater he loves The Zuzu City Express, and his favourite snacks are Black Licorice and Stardrop Sorbet.
These gifts are the ones this villager loves most.

Heart Events
At any friendship above zero, George may mail the farmer a pile of good quality Stone, suggesting it might be useful for building.
At three hearts he mails the recipe for Fried Eel. At seven hearts he mails the recipe for Spicy Eel. Both are dishes his wife, Evelyn, hates.
At six hearts, the farmer enters his house and finds George straining to reach something on a high bookshelf. The farmer fetches it for him. After a quiet moment he thanks the farmer and explains how he came to be in a wheelchair.
Notes
George starts the story quest Knee Therapy by letter late in Summer, asking for a Hot Pepper to help with his knees. The reward is 200g and a heart of friendship. Hot Peppers grow quickly and keep producing through Summer, so the quest is easy to plan for. George sometimes posts requests on the Help Wanted board outside Pierre's General Store as well. In The Pirate's Wife quest on Ginger Island, George trades an Arctic Shard for the Advanced TV Remote.
