| Family | Kent (Husband) Sam (Son) Vincent (Son) |
Jodi is a busy mother who lives at 1 Willow Lane with her sons Sam and Vincent. Her husband Kent is away serving in the military at first, and he returns home a changed man later in the game. Jodi runs the household on her own, keeps the garden, cooks and cleans, and she longs for a little time to herself. She is friendly and generous, and her friendship brings two cooking recipes, free fertiliser in the mail and a warm family dinner. Her loved gifts are mostly home-cooked dishes such as Pancakes, Chocolate Cake and Vegetable Medley.
Lore
Jodi greets the farmer with excitement, because a newcomer is big news in such a quiet town. She is practical and hard-working. She says running a home is difficult work, but someone has to do it. She wishes she could spend more time outdoors and admits that if she were rich, she would hire a maid and a chef. When asked what she does for fun, she says she likes sleeping.
She worries that she has spoiled her boys a little. They have never had to do chores, because she wants them to enjoy their childhood while they can. She cares about staying healthy, makes time for exercise and wears rubber gloves to keep her hands soft.
Kent's absence weighs on the family. A letter in Jodi's bedside drawer, written by Kent before his return, warns her that what he has seen has shaken him. He says he may not be the same man she remembers, but that she and the boys mean everything to him.
Schedule
Jodi spends most of her day at home, moving between the kitchen and the living room, and she puts Vincent to bed each night. On Tuesdays she walks to Pierre's General Store for the aerobics class with Caroline, Marnie, Emily and Robin. On rainy days she stays home. She has her own check-up at Harvey's Clinic in Spring and also takes Vincent for his. In Winter she meets Caroline near her house and visits the Night Market.
Relationships
Jodi is married to Kent and is the mother of Sam and Vincent. Caroline is her best friend, and Jodi says she can tell her anything. The two chat in the town square most days. She also exercises with several of the town's women at the weekly aerobics class.
Gifts
Jodi loves Pancakes, Chocolate Cake, Rhubarb Pie, Vegetable Medley, Eggplant Parmesan, Crispy Bass, Fried Eel and Diamonds, plus the universal loves. Pancakes are one of the cheapest, because cooking just Wheat Flour with an Egg makes them. Cooking just a Tomato with a Beet makes Vegetable Medley.
Most forage is a poor choice. She dislikes many mushrooms, Leeks, Snow Yams, Winter Roots, Holly, Garlic, Quartz and Wild Horseradish, and says she will put them in the compost. She hates Daffodils, Dandelions and Spice Berries. Gifts on her birthday in Fall count eight times as much. At the Movie Theater she loves The Zuzu City Express, and her favourite snacks are Chocolate Popcorn and Stardrop Sorbet.
These gifts are the ones this villager loves most.

Heart Events
At any friendship above zero, Jodi may mail the farmer some fertiliser and soil she ordered too much of, such as Basic Fertilizer, Quality Fertilizer or Basic Retaining Soil.
At two hearts, the farmer may enter her bedroom and read Kent's letter in the drawer beside her bed.
At three hearts she mails the recipe for Fried Calamari.
At four hearts, the farmer leaves the Farmhouse on a Monday morning and finds Jodi outside, out of breath from the walk. She invites the farmer to dinner at seven and asks them to bring a Largemouth Bass for her fish casserole. The bass lives in the mountain lake. Bringing it on any later evening starts a family dinner scene. The dinner itself is the reward. Once Kent has come home, he joins the family at the table, which makes the scene more touching.
At seven hearts she mails the recipe for Ice Cream.
Notes
Jodi starts the story quest Jodi's Request by letter in Spring, asking for a Cauliflower. The reward is 350g and a heart of friendship. Cauliflower is a Spring crop, so planting a few early makes the quest easy to finish.
