Storylines

Hanna is a strong and very devout Christian woman who lives in Savannah, Georgia.  In the first episode, she gains a job working for a wealthy family headed by Jim Cryer and Katheryn Cryer. She also works with her former friend, Celine Gonzales, who had worked at the Cryers for a longer time.

Doing her work, and doing a good job of it, Hanna gains the respect and friendship of Katheryn, whom the latter considers her only true friend.  She is the mother of two adult children, Benny and Candace. She and Candace have an antagonistic relationship, while she dotes on and somewhat hovers over Benny.

Hanna makes an enemy of Celine when she gains more trust in the Cryer household and becomes friends with Katheryn. Celine does her best to try to get Hanna removed, which angers the lady of the house, and causes her to have a confrontation with the housekeeper. 

Hanna was falsely arrested by the evil Jim, which finally pushes her to quit her job as a housekeeper, to the sadness of Katheryn. Katheryn still is her friend, and she helps her when Benny is injured in a hit and run accident.  She removes her friend's son from the county hospital and moves him to a better-run private hospital, and she even pays her medical expenses for his stay. 

She constantly demands Candace to explain where her grandson is.  However, she later finds out that Candace had been in an abusive relationship with the child's father, a man named Quincy.  Qunicy took their child on a supposed fishing trip, but the wicked Quincy, a convicted murderer, threw his son off a bridge and killed him. Candace turned him in to the police and gave him up on another murder, which now has him on the rampage and to get after Candace.  However, this doesn't change Hanna's view of her daughter's less than honorable ways of doing things.  This holier-than-thou attitude can aggravate Benny in a lot of ways, due to Hanna's own less than sterling doings when she was younger.

Finally, after another of Jim's schemes to frame someone else for the hit-and-run, Hanna goes to the Cryer's to apologize.  Jim, evil as ever, denies to hear her and orders her off the grounds, but Katheryn orders Jim to get in the house, and she has a tearful reunion with her best friend; she offers Hanna her job back and tells her when Benny gets better, that she can return to her job as a housekeeper. 

Hanna returns to work, and is shattered to find that her friend's daughter, Amanda Cryer is dead in her bedroom due to her having killed herself.
