In Dead Rising 2 Esther is found in Children's Castle in the Royal Flush Plaza on the first day, trying to buy a toy for her granddaughter. In Dead Rising 2: Off the Record Esther is found on the fourth day. When Chuck Greene/Frank West approaches her, she mistakes him for a store employee and complains about the customer service. Chuck/Frank tells her that there are zombies outside the store, but she misunderstands him, and says that her granddaughter is much too young for zombie toys.
Once Chuck/Frank convinces her that the zombies are real, she agrees to follow them to the Safe House, but claims that her bunions keep her from moving too fast, therefore she must be carried.
