Mistress Goodwright worked as housekeeper for Cutler Beckett while he was living in Calabar. As housekeeper, she supervised the household staff and did many chores on her own, such as helping Beckett move in, dusting, and serving food. She waited on the Viscount, Lord Reginald Marmaduke Bracegirdle-Penwallow, the East India Trading Company Director of African Affairs when he dined at Beckett's household. She also helped prepare Captain Jack Sparrow prior to his meal with Lord Penwallow and Cutler Beckett. Her life before and after working for Beckett are unknown.
