Annette is a therapist. She previously worked and studied at Springfield Community College.
History[edit]
When Lisa had a recurring nightmare about school, Homer and Marge took her to Springfield Community College to see Annette, who was pregnant at the time. She interpreted Lisa's dream to mean she was stressed at school and then recommended art therapy to help her, giving her an empty comic book to fill in. Later, Lisa went back to show her the comic she and Marge worked on, but found out it was missing.
After Lisa and Marge had a falling out over the musical based on Sad Girl, Lisa went back to see Annette, who had given birth to her child. Annette was now sleep deprived and snappy, which Steven, behind the two-way mirror, chastised her about. Annette snapped back, telling him that it was his fault she had a child. Seeing how crazy Annette had become, Lisa slowly left the room, leaving Annette crying.[1]
At some point, Annette graduated from Springfield Community College and went to work for Nutz. When Homer uses the app, he was given an inferior therapist first. He was then upgraded to Annette, who helped Homer through his problems with being abandoned by his mother when he was young. After Homer got closure, Annette was fired because she wasn't supposed to help the clients so quickly and was supposed to draw out sessions to get more money for the app.[2]
Later, Annette worked for the Children's Therapy Center, where she worked with both Lisa and Ralph. Annette found out that Lisa's anxiety was largely due to Homer's driving and tried to help her by getting Lisa to face her fears. Annette took Lisa to the Funland Family Fun Center, which had a go-kart track, and had Lisa try out the go-karts there. After a bad first attempt, Lisa started to enjoy go-karting and the therapy was successful. Later, Annette attended Lisa's championship race. When she saw that Lisa's kart was falling apart, Annette yelled that she was going to die.[3]
Personality[edit]
Before she had her child, Annette was friendly and kind, wanting to help Lisa. However, she made mistakes, like not knowing Lisa's name and calling her by a different name. After she had her child, Annette changed completely. She was sleep deprived, angry, and brought her personal life into the therapy sessions. However, this didn't last all that long and Annette went back to being kind.
- It is likely that Steven is the father of Annette's child, as Annette yelled at Steven that he was the one who "did this to me".
