Character biography

Esther has served as "Y&R"'s comic relief and has been Katherine Chancellor's (Jeanne Cooper) maid since 1985. She is also a trained alcohol abuse counselor. She once had a one night stand with a plumber named "Tiny", with whom she had a daughter, Kate Tina Valentine, who wasn't seen until 2008, when she emerged as Jabot Cosmetics Fashionista Chloe Mitchell Esther was also indirectly responsible for the death of Katherine's husband, Rex Sterling (Quinn K. Redeker) when she answered a personal ad and met Norman Peterson, a notorious con man. In an effort to impress Norman, she posed as lady of the manor, and Rex and Katherine went along with it and disguised themselves as her servants. Norman coerced Esther into convincing Katherine to include her in her will and marry him. A suspicious Katherine and Rex arranged a fake wedding. Then, not content to wait for Katherine to die to inherit her riches, Rex caught Norman breaking into the estate safe. Rex was shot and killed in the altercation, leaving Katherine devastated. Norman was then arrested for murder and Esther has since been forgiven and named in Katherine's will.

It was revealed that Chloe Ashby is her daughter. Esther then started attempting a normal relationship with her daughter, but Chloe/Kate is frequently embarrassed by her mother's status as a maid and her lack of bashfulness regarding the chosen career. At Cane's yearning, they are getting somewhat close again.
