Kristi McKay
Kristi is not a Christian, and was fairly opposed to her son, Grady becoming one, but over time she broke down and decided he was old enough to make the choice for himself. She's voiced by Julianne Buescher.
Family
She is the mother of two kids: Grady and Samantha McKay, and is married to Carson McKay.
Personality
Kristi tries very hard to be a good mother, though until recently, she was a single mom and had to work long hours to make ends meet. She keeps on a generally bright attitude, if only for her kids, and loves them dearly. A hard worker, it seems that every time we see her she has a different job. She's slightly bitter towards her husband for leaving her, and forcing her to try to replace him herself, but she tries to keep this from her kids. Kristi works hard to provide for her children, and is protective of them. She grew up in northeast Wisconsin (#563: “Tuesdays with Wooton”).
