Helen is a homebody that is hyperfixated with the aesthetics of the 1940's-1960's. She's fashioned her entire life around vintage products, driving an old car, stocking her home with old appliances, and spending each and every day dressed like a 1950's houswife. One could argue that this was some sort of social regression, given her race and gender, but she maintains that her obession is an act of reclaiming a suburban, kitschy lifestyle that was denied to her and women like her throughout history.

Originally a recluse because her medical condition made it difficult to work/go outside, she has since invested her time and energy into carefully curating her life to be a perfectly retro paradise. Stepping into her home is like stepping into a time machine! Still, her idyllic life isn't entirely perfect. She simply longs for someone to share it with. But...that could be a difficult when she dislikes going outside for any reason that ISN'T grocery shopping.
