Келли Стоунар

Emma's employer and William's former governess. Married at the age of 18, but became a widow after just two years. Young and educated, Mrs. Stoner decided to become a governess and taught William and his siblings. Shortly before retiring, she met Emma and hired her as a maid. She taught the girl housekeeping, reading, and writing. Additionally, she was a "bridge" between Emma and William, although she understood that their relationship would never develop smoothly.
