that's what i was thinking too, especially since her dad is a little bit older too, so he would have George Little is 63 now, so he would have been knocking on the door to 40 when Charlie was born, so he had a decent amount of time on the force in NYC before moving to Boston for his FBI position. he still had deep roots in NYC anyway, and with the NYPD, so they would have visit the city quite a bit when she was growing up. her mom died when she was 6, so he would have known that and probably been to the funeral if their parents were close friends. i also imagine that she spent a handful of time in NY during some summers growing up (especially before they moved back to Boston when she was 14) because her dad didn't want her to be alone all the time. he definitely could have crashed with her a bit when he first got out there. she would have probably been living alone with ~zippy at that time when she first moved and her dog Eleven (she still lives with both, but her husband ~racer moved in with them after they eloped in September)
