Charlotte McKeon comes home from her 12-hour shift, goes straight to the cellar to change, throws the clothes in the washing machine and takes a shower. At that point, she becomes only slightly more comfortable being around her family.

“She's definitely under more stress than she usually is,” Sean McKeon told The Detroit News in a phone interview.
