| Lives In | The Desert |
| Address | Oasis |
Sandy runs the Oasis, the general store of Calico Desert, and she is one of the friendliest faces outside the valley. The farmer first meets her once the bus to the desert is repaired, either through the Vault bundles of the Community Center or by paying for the Bus project on the Joja route. Her shop sells desert seeds such as Starfruit, Rhubarb, Beet and Cactus Seeds, along with clothing and daily specials. She is warm, chatty and a little lonely, and she keeps a close friendship with Emily in Pelican Town. Behind her shop, she quietly turns a blind eye to Mr. Qi's private Casino.
Lore
Sandy admits that her name is not really Sandy. She says it is just good for business, and that she has got used to everyone calling her that. Her real name is never revealed.
Life in the desert can be lonely. She was close to going out of business before the bus started running again, and she is thrilled when the farmer arrives. She writes letters complaining that she is bored and invites the farmer to come and visit. At high friendship she says she would come back to the valley for a day or two if she did not have a shop to run.
She has a soft spot for the green, flowery valley. Most of her favourite gifts are flowers, and she loves to hear about the weather back in town. The desert heat bothers her, because her delicate skin burns quickly.
She knows more about the back room of her shop than she lets on. At first she says she is not supposed to talk about the shady-looking man at the back. Once she trusts the farmer, she whispers that it is an exclusive club. She has never been inside, but its owner pays her a generous monthly rent, so she asks no questions.
Schedule
Sandy stays behind the counter of the Oasis every day, from morning until close to midnight. She stays in the desert and only comes to town when the farmer invites her to the Movie Theater.
Her birthday is the main exception to that routine. On the fifteenth of Fall, the Oasis closes at one in the afternoon, and Emily arrives from the valley. The two friends spend the afternoon and evening walking around the desert together.
Relationships
Emily is Sandy's closest friend. Emily writes to her about life in the valley, which is how Sandy recognises the farmer at their first meeting. Sandy often asks the farmer to say hello to Emily.
Mr. Qi runs his Casino behind the Oasis. Their arrangement is about money rather than friendship: he pays the rent, and she does not pry.
Gifts
Sandy loves Crocus, Daffodil, Mango Sticky Rice and Sweet Pea, along with every universal love. Each flower blooms wild in a different season, so there is almost always a loved gift growing somewhere. Daffodils in Spring, Sweet Peas in Summer and Crocuses in Winter are all easy to forage and keep. She reacts with joy, calling the Daffodil the best sign of a Stardew Valley spring.
She likes all fruit, Goat Milk, Quartz and Wool, along with every universal like. That gives an animal farm plenty of cheap options. She is neutral about cow Milk and eggs.
She hates Holly, along with the universal hates. Her birthday falls in Fall, when gifts count eight times as much.
She loves every film at the Movie Theater, which makes any showing a good choice. Her favourite snacks are Cotton Candy and Stardrop Sorbet.
These gifts are the ones this villager loves most.

Heart Events
At any friendship above zero, Sandy may mail a gift from the desert, such as a Cactus Fruit, a Coconut or a bowl of Tom Kha Soup. Her letters say she is bored and ask the farmer to visit soon.
At seven hearts, she mails the recipe for Tom Kha Soup.
Notes
The Oasis has a fixed range of desert seeds and goods, plus rotating daily specials. These include Coconut on Mondays, Cactus Fruit on Tuesdays, Honey on Fridays, Quality Retaining Soil on Saturdays and Ice Cream on Sundays.
Sandy plays a part in The Pirate's Wife quest on Ginger Island, where she receives the Stardew Valley Rose. Requests from Sandy can also turn up on the Help Wanted board outside Pierre's General Store.
