Unlike many troubled people in Los Santos, Anne spent most of her childhood in a loving family living in rural New Jersey, considering herself something of a 'bumpkin.'

She struggled both socially and academically but found herself to be at her happiest when helping her loving mother around the family restaurant. Being surrounded by Italian Culture gave her a sense of pride over her heritage, and it's where she'd gained her immense loving and respect for Italian Cuisines. To an extent, Anne was spoiled. She would frequently have anxiety attacks when having to speak with people she didn't know and would seek comfort from her mother. With the help of the restaurant, all of her needs were met properly. Things would tragically fall apart the day her mother passed away.

She struggles to open up about it, and so it's a mystery as to what happened to her mother. Being too young to manage the restaurant, funds would be moved from the family restaurant to Anne's education. Over time her impostor syndrome would worsen until she couldn't take it anymore. Feeling as though she was failing her father, and had wasted the money that should've been left to keep her mothers legacy intact, she decided to run away so she wouldn't have to face the pain anymore. Looking for ways to make cash to re-open the restaurant, she found herself moving to Los Santos...

Anne's present life is heavily centered around those around her... Due to heartache, she's lost and doesn't know what exactly she wants. She hopes someday whatever it is finds its way to her.
