Addison Dalton

Addison, a character in The Nanny Affair series, is Sam's first wife and the twins' mother. Although she is first seen in Book 2, Chapter 18, her name isn't revealed until Chapter 20.

Appearances
Her appearance is determined by the character model of Sam.

Personality
According to Sofia, Addison is very ambitious and cutthroat. However, unlike her, Addison liked pretending that she wasn't like that by having a "goody two-shoes" act. Her dream was to have the perfect penthouse, a husband/wife, and kids, which could potentially explain her actions and behaviour towards you. Despite that, Sofia believes that Addison is not a horrible monster, and that she seems to truly care and to want to part of her children's lives.

Background
Not much is known about Addison before her "death". In regards to her disappearance five years ago, it happened one day when Addison was returning home from work, but was cornered by the paparazzi and forced to take the subway. However, there was an accident and the train crashed. Her identity was mixed with another female passenger who looked very similar to her, and who died at the scene. This resulted in everyone believing that she had died. Meanwhile, Addison was taken to the hospital, and the doctors and herself deduced that she had lost her memory. Not having any recollection of her life and of who she is, Addison moved away and changed her name to "Elizabeth Fields". Some time later, she happened to see a headline on a magazine about Sam's engagement to you, and her memories started to flood back. She realized who she was and came back to regain the family she had lost.

Dalton Family
With Addison's sudden appearance, Sam is skeptical. Sam doesn't want to put the twins into any more mental anguish and has his/her attorneys try to confirm Addison's identity as quietly as possible. In Book 3, Chapter 1, Addison interrupts your winter vacation with Sam and the boys with the results of the DNA test, proving that she is who she says she is. When asked, she tells you and Sam the tale of her identity being mixed up with another passenger who had died in the subway accident, her amnesia, and her memory returning slowly as news was broadcasted about Sam's social life. It is your choice to remain skeptical or sympathize with her plight.

Your Character
When she finds out that you are Sam's fiancée, she immediately dislikes you, thinking you're trying to steal Sam and especially the twins away from her. The relationship between you two worsens throughout the book, and in Chapter 10, you find out that she's suing for full custody of the twins and trying to paint you as an inappropriate stepmother. Eventually in Chapter 17, you two have a big argument about you being in the Dalton family, and it upsets Mickey and Mason so much they decide to run away from home, so you search for the boys with Sam, and you can choose whether to allow her to join the search or not. After you find the twins, in Chapter 18, she apologizes for all the hurt she's caused to you and the Daltons and agrees to drop the custody case, admitting that you're what's best for the twins, not her. You have the option whether to allow her to stay in the boys' life or not.
