Biography
As a child, Claudette began working at a live-in maid service in order to pay off her parents' debts. She met Jean Baptiste, the man that walked her into the maid service.

Claudette grew up and became a manager of the same maid service company she worked for. Jean Baptiste came to visit her after not seeing each other for some time. He revealed that he has married a woman named Josephine, and he introduced Claudette to her. Claudette was seemingly disappointed when she discovered he had married.

Claudette discovered that one of her girls was brutally attacked by a customer. She later showed up to his house, saying that the girl cannot help him on that day and that she would clean instead. She later murdered him with a butcher knife. Due to her extreme cleanliness, it is unlikely this was the crime for which she was convicted and sent to prison ("Imaginary Enemies").
