Profile
Like Anna, Eva works as an au pair, but is from East Germany. When Anna fears that she will be sent back to West Germany when her visa expires, she is allowed to stay in England after talking to the Home Secretary and learning that her country belongs to the Common Market. Once she knows this, she no longer needs to marry Jeremy Brown (who had previously offered to do this after several drinks at The Red Lion), but since East Germany is not part of the Common Market, Eva will still have to leave when her visa expires. Anna, seeing a way to help her friend, tells Eva about Mr. Brown's offer, so she comes to the school to meet her husband-to-be and chases him around the classroom.
