Granny is Maverick’s grandmother. She lives about 30 minutes outside of Garden Heights and adores Maverick, so Maverick knows that if he needs any help with Seven, Granny will be there as soon as she can. Though Granny thinks it’s normal and not worth getting upset about teenagers having babies, she takes major offense when she learns that Maverick is expecting a second baby with Lisa. She embarrasses him at Thanksgiving by taking 15 minutes while she says grace to ask God to take away Maverick’s “mannishness” and to help him stop having babies.
