Betsy Morton

Betsy is the deuteragonist in First Time Alone. She is Anastasia's mother and Dave's wife. She is caring, loving, sweet, protective, emotional, and forgiving.

Betsy is first seen when she receives a call from Odile, Anastasia's usual babysitter, who suddenly cancels on Betsy and Dave due to a hair appointment. After calling all other babysitters, Betsy makes the decision to leave Anastasia at home for the day. Shortly after, when Anastasia wakes up, Betsy comforts Anastasia before sharing the news. After telling Anastasia she'll be by herself for the day, Betsy assures Anastasia that the security cameras are on and the doors are locked before leaving Anastasia by herself.

She appears again almost halfway into the film when Anastasia calls her during the meeting. Breaking the office rules, Betsy answers the call to assure Anastasia that she'll be hope as soon as the meeting is over. She abruptly ends the call shortly after when her boss signals at her to end the call.

Betsy makes her final appearance when she confronts Karen angrily about the extravagant party. After being rudely interupted by Beatrice, Betsy sees Karen for who she truly is and allows Anastasia to invite her to come back tomorrow. After witnessing Karen and Anastasia make up to each other, Betsy hugs and kisses Anastasia and tells her she's growing up very quickly.

She is portrayed by Kathy Grachek.
