People make fun of her accent because it's southern. She hates the food there and misses hush puppies, other good southern food and good BBQ, and cheerwine. She misses the southern heat and humidity.
Who in their right mind would miss the humidity? Seriously!
I'm sure they do have biscuits in Mass (seems like every fast food restaurant has them now), but depending on the time period of when your story is set they might not have been common then.
Off topic, but once, 20 yrs ago, my spouse was standing in line at Biscuitville behind a woman w/ a Northeastern accent who asked for a bagel (at Biscuitville!?!) and then when the person working the counter told her they didn't have bagels she asked, "well what do you have that's bread-y then?" Ummm, biscuits?
I doubt if the humidity is that different in Mass, but the heat in the summer is.
Sorry if I insulted people if the alcoholic dad and the mom with no job. I didn't mean it like that I just meant if it to be a little information on why she moved.
Why, MOST southerners are products of the unemployed and alcoholic, so astute of you to notice!
I hope you aren't forgetting the pick up truck, the trailer park, and the cousin-wives! Yeah boy! I'd love to read more, but I got me a turkey shoot to 'tend to afore church! Yeeeeee-haw!
Don't be a jerk! I didn't say her dad was an alcoholic because he is in the south!

You might want to throw in that the character is oversensitive to anything that may be interpreted as criticism...
