Grans is Mom's mom and Via and August’s grandmother. She's from Brazil, and prior to her death several years before the start of the novel, she maintained a very close relationship with both Mom and Via. Grans often cared for Via while August underwent surgery. On one of those longer visits, Grans made it clear to Via that she's looking out for her in particular, since she recognizes that Via doesn't have the parental support she truly desires. Grans died the day before Halloween, which makes Halloween a difficult holiday for both Mom and Via.
