Chapter 9 - THE CATERING EMAILThe investigators found no criminal master plan in Mom’s email.
They found pettiness.
Three days before the luncheon, Evelyn had booked two temporary servers through a catering company.
After Maya injured her hands, Carol texted:
Poor Maya. At least you’ll have the servers.
Mom canceled them the next morning.
Reason entered on the cancellation form:
Family will handle service.
That line made my stomach turn.
Why cancel help after learning Maya could not use her hands?
Mom’s explanation:
“The guest count fell.”
It hadn’t.
Twenty people attended.
Then:
“The servers were too expensive.”
Total labor quote:
$340.
Mom had spent $690 on flowers.
Then:
“I expected Alex’s household to help.”
Alex’s household.
Not Maya.
Not Chloe.
A unit.

A resource.
A stage crew for her social performance.
