Brianna Wilson is 25. She grew up in south Georgia in the city of Valdosta. Her father was a pipe fitter and her mother was a waitress. She was considered lower middle class growing up. Her family had a house out near the Air Force base, and many of her childhood friends were the children of fighter pilots.

She wanted out of Georgia, and when she went to college, she went to live with an aunt in Florida and attended the University of South Florida. She double majored in journalism and business. She interned with a few different companies in Tampa while she was in school, and once she was out, she got a job with the Tampa Tribune. She’s been with the Tampa Tribune for two years and she’s now being given assignments of her own.

She’s due to take a vacation soon, to visit her grandfather in France. He’s a caretaker for an old castle in Moulins, and the family is worried because he’s fallen more silent than usual. They suspect he may be developing dementia, as his last letter to them was very strange. She’s promised to check on him and help to get him set up to move to the US if he’s not well.

She’s looking forward to some much needed time off, though. Time she’s not going to have.
