## Biography

### Early Life and Background

Abby was born in 2000 to local politician Gordon St. John and his wife Janine. Abby grew up in a tense household, with his father regularly sleeping around instead of investing any love or interest in his family. Abby came to hate her father when she reached her early teens, around the same time that she met Adam Levitt and started dating him. In Adam, Abby found love and affection that she had never felt before and came to prefer the Levitt family to her own, seeing Joseph Levitt as a father figure.

Her new family quickly fell apart when the marriage between Joseph and Tracy Levitt fell apart and Tracy started dating Abby's father, Gordon, tearing the Levitts apart and putting Abby's relationship with Adam at risk. Abby's hatred of her father extended to the point that she no longer considered him family, and her friendly relationship with Mrs Levitt was also destroyed. Her relationship with Adam was also severely affected, with Adam becoming uncomfortable with being physical with her due to their new "family bond", as Gordon put it.

## Overview

Together, they care for Adam's sister Cassie, who may be the key to humanity's future. But supplies are running low, the people hunting them have become more ruthless, and the roads are lifeless. With time running out, Abby finds that she may have to step up higher as the world around her gets more and more dangerous,*"
