Biography
Scarlett appears in the first chapter, immediately being rude to Your Character. You can choose to tag along with Kate, Grant and her to the restaraunt for an impromptu bachelorette party for Kate. In the following chapter, after Kate disappears, Scarlett appears indifferent, though she does tell Your Character of how Kate was talking on her phone in the woods surrounding the house the morning of the disappearance, which helps them discover evidence strongly suggesting that Kate kidnapped.
In the fifth chapter, aboard Tanner's yacht where his corpse is, Scarlett's bracelet is discovered. Now a person of interest, Scarlett lawyers up and isn't arrested, but Your Character, with Grant's help, convinces Scarlett to come forward and explain her side of the story.
She explains that she loved Tanner ever since she was a little girl, and the fact that Kate was able to secure a relationship with him while she wasn't caused her to resent Kate. One night, Tanner came to Scarlett's home drunk, distraught after having his car beaten and his life threatened by a dockworker he had to fire for theft - a man named Tony Rez. Embarrassed, he didn't tell his parents of the incident (repairing his car and pretending nothing happened), but Scarlett seduced Tanner and they began having an affair. Despite this, Tanner still was unwilling to leave Kate. She thought that Kate's disappearance would give her a chance to begin dating Tanner exclusively, but this was cut short with him being murdered, and Scarlett appeared distraught emotionally at this news.
