Nanny is in her 90s; a matriarch of one of the oldest families in Folkton. She isn't particularly mobile these days, and lives in Mossgate with her well meaning but harassed grandson.

Nanny has been dropped off in the OAP creche (aka the cafe in Tescos) while Shawn does the weekly shop. It might have made more sense for her to stay at home, but she likes the opportunity to get out and harass more people. She has her tea and cake, and is sitting in a prime position on the way out of the supermarket, quite happily talking to anyone who will pay her attention. And when no one will, she'll call out to those leaving the store.
"Oooh, dearie dearie me, you shouldn't have gone for those apples, luv. They won't last a week. Our Pat, she had them last month, and I warned her, but they were mouldy in days! If you want my advice, you'll take them back and ask for a refund!"

Godspeed whoever has this number. Somehow Nanny got it. And like all of her social media she is now spamming it with recycled minion memes, chain emails, and cat pictures. You know the ones. Good luck.

Shawn needs a break sometimes, and sometimes Nanny needs the company of those roughly her own age, which is why twice a week he ferries her out to the OAP lunch in the Folkton church hall. Here she can get her fill of gossip and a proper cooked lunch that isn't Shawn's cooking. She'll quite happily talk to anyone there, fellow oldies or the younger volunteers alike.
"And now our Rob's said that he won't marry her, which is exactly right in my opinion, especially after what she said about little Sue. Serves her right! And I don't mind telling you, that dress that she picked out wasn't exactly the cream of the bunch either. Now I don't hold it against anyone who doesn't wear white; I didn't myself, and that was rather a scandal, but bright blue! It'd clash horribly in the church, I said, and then she said that she wasn't going to get married here! And not even in the registry office in Mossgate either! Some fancy hotel she'd picked out, like we weren't good enough for her."
