Character Information
|
Ashley Grant is a graduate student and feminist. She also works as a babysitter.
Ashley babysits Bart, Lisa, and Maggie while Homer and Marge attend the Springfield Candy Convention. When Homer drives Ashley home and she gets out of the car, he notices his misplaced Gummi Venus de Milo stuck to the back of her pants and picks it off. Ashley misinterprets this as sexual harassment, and returns to the Simpson house the next morning with sign-carrying protestors denouncing Homer's behavior. This causes problems for Homer until Groundskeeper Willie shows everyone a video which proves that Homer did not touch Ashley but was only retrieving the Gummi Venus. Shown this proof, Ashley drops her harrassment accusation against Homer, and admits that she has to believe Lisa's insistence that he is a decent man.
Ashley gets along well with the Simpson children. Lisa admires her for her feminist stance. Ashley also demonstrates that she knows how to manipulate men and boys when she uses a violent video game to persuade Bart to do housework and to make him walk into a wall.
