Her love and inspiration for cooking came from her grandfather.  She moved in with her Nana and Papa when she was five, after her parents were killed in a car crash.  Joseph York, Anne's Papa, was a baker, so naturally she picked up on it.  She spent hours and hours in the kitchen along side her grandfather as a child.  When she was old enough, she applied to culinary school and started living her dreams.  While attending culinary school, Anne meets Lacy, and they instantly become the best of friends.
