Paul Pence's family of three was different from Chet Lawrence and his group. They were only short-term workers. Aside from food, Evelyn Ford wouldn't provide them with anything else.

Aunt Crane's situation was dire. According to her, she had been separated from her husband and children. She had managed to survive solely on the belief that they would one day be reunited.
Aunt Crane was in charge of cooking two meals a day. If people didn't want to cook for themselves, they could eat directly at the farm's mess hall. She was also responsible for cleaning. After a few days of observation, it was clear that while she had a reserved personality, she was a quick and efficient worker. A worthy choice by Officer Graham, indeed.
