Alright, so I'd like to try something a little different with this one.
This is Bethany Drake, played by Selena Gomez. I'm thinking of having her be originally from the Chicago area and is traveling along Route 66 to get to California in her less than reliable car. She finds herself stuck in Joplin and gets a job as the full-time overnight waitress. She plans on turning around and leaving once her car is fixed. So for the purpose of keeping her in the game, she'll need a reason to stay in Joplin.
