She acts as a voice for [[28 Years Later#The Lambic Hive|The Lambic Hive]], where she emphasizes taking care of the community’s mental health and setting aside spaces for people to grieve and process the challenges of living in the Still World. Ava senses community health needs a few steps before anyone else, and her predictions have saved many lives.

Sam is a creative and culinarily experimental partner who helps Ava with their work, while Lily and Leo are inquisitive and curious children who love to help their parents with the cooking and feasting.
