Emily lives in Chicago happily married to her psychologist husband, Bob.
The two of them adhere firmly to the marital tradition of solving every
argument before bedtime, even if it means staying up all night. A career-oriented
woman, Emily has worked her way up from third-grade schoolteacher to Vice Principal.
Over 30, classy, mature, married and yet still sexy and enchanting,
Emily provides a stable center for the surreal happenings in the Hartley
household. Emily's hobby is matchmaking. She isn't very successful at it, but she keeps
trying anyway. She leaves out the welcome mat for Bob's friends and patients,
particularly Howard Borden, the childlike next-door neighbor who probably
couldn't survive without the meals Emily feeds him. (Emily would probably admit that Howard fills an important role in the
Hartleys' childless marriage.) |
