Trivia

• The 2012 version of the official Road to Avonlea website described her as, Nanny Louisa has taken care of Sara Stanley ever since her mother’s passing. She is strong willed and has very specific ideas on how a child should be raised. When Sara’s father Blair Stanley decides to send her to Avonlea to avoid scandal during his trail on embezzlement charges, even though Sara has never met her PEI relatives, he asks Nanny Louisa to accompany her on the trip. Blair has had difficult relations with the King family in the years since his wife Ruth’s death, particularly with Hetty King.
  
  Upon their arrival to Avonlea, Nanny Louisa and Sara must stay with at Rose Cottage, where Hetty and Louisa butt heads over what is truly in Sara’s best interest. After settling in to Avonlea for quite some time, Sara makes a visit home to Montreal, and is there when her father is suddenly killed. Though Nanny Louisa was named Sara’s guardian in his will, eventually, the family and Louisa come to agree that Avonlea should be Sara’s home.^[1]
