―Emily's message over the answering machine.[src]

## Overview

Emily seems to be a very loving and doting mother. She cares greatly for her children and their safety as she panics and urges Sandra to not take Rachel and Clementine into Marietta as the outbreak began while she was visiting a friend in Savannah.

## Pre-Apocalypse

Little is known about Emily's life prior to or as the outbreak began. She worked as a P.E. coach at a school and eventually had two children, Ben and then Rachel. She went on a trip to Savannah, Georgia to visit a friend who was having a baby, and would call Sandra on occasion to check up on her and the girls.

## Post-Apocalypse

### Season One

When Lee Everett arrives at the house of Clementine's family, he is attracted to a beeping answering machine on the table and decides to listen to the messages. In the second message, Emily's voice can be heard and she states that Rachel is allowed to spend the night if she behaves and that she had seen Ed and Diana at the hospital. She then tells Sandra and Clementine to stay safe. In the final message, Emily hysterically explains to Sandra to not take the girls to Marietta and asks her daughter to obey her babysitter before handing the phone to Clementine’s mother, Diana. It is clear to Lee that both of the girls’ parents have died and he struggles whether or not to tell this to the girls.

## Trivia

* According to "BTSing my Fic w/Juno: DoTWD Ch. 3", Emily was originally going to be in Athens, Georgia.
	+ This was changed after it was realized that if the motor inn survivors travel to Savannah, they would be moving further and further away from Rachel's mom.

* Originally, Emily would've made an appearance in the first version of Chapter 1.
	+ In a scrapped version of Chapter 1, The chapter started with Rachel and Clementine talking to each other over the radio before a flashback started. Clementine and Rachel would have been on a bus coming from summer camp.
	+ Sandra would have been there and picked them up. She'd ask them about camp, and they'd each tell her something about camp that would have played an important role later on in the story.
	+ They arrive at Clementine's house, and Rachel's mother is outside. She hugs her and asks why she hadn’t left for Savannah yet. Mom says she wanted to hang out with her children before heading to the coast and ushers the kids to the backyard, where they see a surprise birthday party set up.
	+ Rachel's opening presents. Emily hands Rachel a gift, and she opens it. This is how she would have gotten her stuffed rabbit, Captain Yellowbear. The flashback would have ended with a camera flash and picked up with the start of Chapter 2.
* Emily is a P.E coach at a school, though it is unknown if she taught at the same school Rachel and Clementine attended.
* It is possible Emily might be of Hispanic descent, as in *"In Your Charge"*, she is heard swearing in Spanish.
