Constance Grady was Ignacio's case worker at the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services office, or so she claimed. It turned out that she'd actually been fired two months earlier because she kept getting too involved in the lives of the people whose cases she was handling, even coercing some of them, like Toussaint Duvalier, into romantic relationships. She tried to trick Ignacio into marrying her, but the Suarezes learned the truth just in time to prevent the hasty Atlantic City wedding. Ignacio forgave Constance, because he understood that she was motivated by her fear that the people that she helped would just forget about her as soon as they received their legal papers.
