Olena is a Ukrainian immigrant and single mother. She is also nurse’s aid for an elderly man named Leon and the two have developed a very close friendship. She is very kind and giving, but her time is spent taking care of others over herself. Olena has been living in the United States for 7 years and speaks fluent English, but there is evidence of a Ukrainian accent.

Leon, a former engineer, is in the late stages of a progressive illness. He has made a rich life for himself, but lives alone in a large house after the death of his wife. Of the nursing staff who visit him regularly, he has developed the closest friendship with the aide, Olena. She is the closest to family he has around, as his children have their own lives elsewhere.
