Character

Annie Bartlet (President's granddaughter)

precocious affectionate plainspoken curious vulnerable

Bartlet's granddaughter engages with White House events from afar, suggesting a question for elderly visitor Mr. Keith—who met Hoover before the 1929 crash—during a tense day of market turmoil. Her curiosity prompts Bartlet to draw the man out, blending family insight with presidential duties and briefly lightening his superstition amid economic dread. This offscreen role underscores how personal ties ground the leader.
