TRIGGER WARNINGS: MENTION OF DEATH, MENTION LOSS OF A CHILD, MENTIONS OF CHEATING
Danya grew up in Montana, where she was raised by her parents who believed in having a simpler life with some amenities to have.
Taking care of chores around the farm was her usual time spent, along with her siblings until they were to school. Which they would then hang out with their friends often in the small town, splitting time with their chores and such.
Her choice of career was based off wanting to help people without being stuck in a building all day long. Along with her usual choice of shows to watch was involving paramedics or hospitals in some form of way!
In college, she met her then-husband and her family from there grew over the years along with the love for each other. In the last few years is where things went downhill and problems were born, even the love between the parents were more seldom or non-existent in some ways.
They moved to another city and in ten years of being around each other, she found out he was cheating shortly before their anniversary. Two months later, she was trying to move out soon with their child before their child's inevitable death.
TW: MENTIONS OF DEATH OF CHILD // Their child was left with a babysitter, who was a neighbor and right next door, before the dad headed out that night for a drink. Their child is diabetic, and the bag wasn't with him, which has his usual shots for when such happens. It was heartbreaking for them to learn the news that night, along with how the neighbor tried to break into their house before suffering a big cut in the aftermath of trying to get the bag and bring it back to their house to try and save him.
Danya never forgave him for that night, and wholeheartedly blames him for the ordeal too. Shortly then, the money was spent in legal fees to be divorced from him, and then moving to another city to get far away from him.
Soon, she was craving for the small town life and that's how she came to Sedona with a job offer lined up in tow as she was moving into Uptown. When the job offer fell through, the Aroma Cafe owners were already becoming close with her due to being a regular that comes in almost every single day. And with no way to let go of the building for retirement and wanting to be free of it, they spoke with her about it before becoming to agreements on taking the entire business of their hands.
