Edith Callihan

Edith Callihan is one of the minor characters of Amateurs. She is the elderly grandmother (paternal) of Jess Callihan.

Early Life
Edith was born and raised in Dublin, Ireland alongside her younger sister Letti. She sometime later met and fell in love with Alfred Callihan. The two married and settled in Kenya where they ended working as servants to several African royal families, including the Eliade Royal Family. She and Alfred lived happily where they managed to have many children, including Kane, Harper and Daniel. However, Daniel grew up working as a servant and fell in love with the young Crown Princess, Deidre Eliade. She was saddened when Harper and Daniel, along with Deidre, left for America to make a new life for themselves, and she hasn't heard from them since until 2011 when her granddaughters-Alyson, Ronnie, Jess and Quinn-travel to meet their relatives. Two decades prior to the series, her husband died of natural causes.She eventually retired where she lives with her caregivers, all alone. It is mentioned that the other children left for America where they married and had children. At some point, she developed dementia, mistakening her caregivers for her children.

Her Granddaughters' Visit
In 2011, when Jess learned that her relatives were alive in Kenya, she, Quinn, Alyson and Ronnie set out to find them, where Jess discovered the small house and spent the whole day with Edith drinking and sharing some family stories about Daniel and Harper.
