In the 1990s, Esme met Charles Anderson and the two later got married. They then welcomed a son, Ethan, in Ethans early years Esme suffered greatly from Post Natal Depression. Esme's depression wasn't picked up by Charles as in the 90's there was little education on PND and he worked long days. Charles mistook her symptoms for her not loving him anymore, so her pursued a affair with a woman called Tasha. Esme learned that she was pregnant again and decided to leave without telling Charles as she couldn't deal with him not showing concern. When she was 8 months pregnant she arranged to meet up with Charles and Ethan, however she couldn't go through with it out of fear over Charles reaction to her pregnancy. She later gave birth to a girl, Naomi. Esme tried to look after Naomi but her PND took control again so she put her up for adoption. Esme later went to get help and recovered with the help of counselling and medication.
In 2020, Naomi reached out to Esme and the pair's relationship flourished.

Ethan was reluctant to talk to Esme as he believed a series of texts he received earlier in the year had been from her. However it was later revealed it was Manpreet Sharma who had been texting Ethan pretending to be his mother. Esme and Ethan then started to build a relationship.
