Mattie was born to her father and mother when they were both teenagers in highschool. Her mother died and child birth and her father rescued her from just getting tossed aside by her maternal grandparents. From there, she lived with her father and his parents. When she was just two or so, Benji had earned enough working with Brennan to get his own apartment in the city. Until she was about five though, Benji left Mattie with his parents while he worked in the speakeasy, bartending.
One day, a few months after turning five, Mattie threw a major tantrum. She didn't want her Daddy to leave. If he got to spend time with Uncle Brennan and even Uncle Jesse sometimes, why couldn't she? Benji folded and brought her to the speakeasy. Just that once, he vowed. It was soon an everyday thing. He would often leave her in the backroom but Mattie usually found her way out to sit at the bar as Benji tended it or play jack in a secluded corner.
Now Mattie is a practically a permanent fixture at the speakeasy and loves charming the patrons.
