Hannah Gruen

Hannah Gruen is Nancy Drew’s housekeeper. Nancy's father, Carson Drew, hired her after Nancy's mother, Kate Drew, died so that Nancy would have a mother figure growing up. As a result, Nancy and Hannah are very close. Hannah is more like part of the Drew family rather than someone who nearly works for them. Hannah is a kindly spinster who would do anything to take care of Nancy and her father Carson. She’s known around the town of River Heights as being exceptionally good at cooking and baking, and Nancy has been known to use sweets made by Hannah to butter people up in order to get information out of them when investigating a mystery.
