Escaping Paradise Character Review: Hannah Graves

Hannah is the 26 yr old, African American assistant to Michael Blackstone.  She has worked with him since he was in New York City, and at his request, followed him to help set up the new offices for Blackstone Industries.  Finding the new climate more to her liking than New York in the depth of winter or heat of summer, she stayed with him instead of returning to New York.
