TW: / TEEN PREGNANCY / CHILD ABANDONMENT / ALZHEIMERβS DISEASE
Born to a teen mother, Allegra was never considered a blessing. Her father didnβt want to be involved, and left to complete his degree a few months before she was born, leaving seventeen year old Claudia to raise a baby on her own; a responsibility she wasnβt ready to face.
A year passed, before Allegra was dropped to her grandmotherβs trailer with the excuse her mother needed someone to watch her while she was at work, only to never be seen again. She took off, with a much older guy who promised her the world, leaving her daughter behind.
No phone calls, no letters. Ever since she could remember herself, her grandmother was the only constant person in her life. Stella took the responsibility of raising her, teaching her the best values in life and more importantly, loving her like she was her own daughter. Like Allie always liked to say, the trailer was small but full of love.
Growing up at the trailer park was both a blessing and a curse. Allegra was always known as the kid without parents -- the abandoned one, and was often bullied at school.Β Β
She was fifteen when her father reached out. He had a new family, new wife -- new kids and a new perspective in life. Or so Stella thought, when he allowed Allegra to go and stay there for the summer. Not only she was back at the trailer park in a week, but her relationship with her father wasnβt going to improve after his wifeβs mistreatment. Β
Despite her hard upbringing, Allegra graduated with high honors; wishing to make a new start and leave high school behind. By that time, her grandmotherβs health was deteriorating with the woman being in the early stages of dementia. This was exactly the reason why young Allie decided to study hard in order to get a Bachelor of Science in Nursing; hoping that she could care for the only motherly figure she knew.
Unfortunately, by the time she graduated and was able to understand more about the disease, Stella was diagnosed with Alzheimer's.
Allegra tried her hardest to care for her grandmother, but her condition worsened to the point she needed twenty four hour support. The decision was a hard one, but Allie eventually had to place her in a nursing home. Now, she visits Stella regularly.
She still hasnβt heard from her mother. Her relationship with her father is not the best to this day, as his wife would constantly mistreat her when he wasnβt around, prioritising her own childrenβs needs and excluding her from most things. He calls every once in a while to check on her.
Because she is paying for her nanaβs retirement home, Allie is still staying at their old house, which she would love to renovate at some point.Β
She has an amazing voice but hates any attention. This was the reason why despite winning a singing competitions and 10,000 dollars, she quit right after. Nowadays, only close to her people know about her talent.
Loves her job. Really loves her job. She will often take up extra shifts, just so some of her colleagues can take a day off, so a lot of times people will take advantage of her nice and generous spirit.
