There isn’t much light on Carter's life, although according to a profile about Jones in “The New Yorker”, she is an “employment lawyer”.

Similarly, van once said, "She used to run marathons and climb mountains. She is a power tools kind of girl. [She's] very independent, which makes it a little easier for her. She's not sitting there, waiting for me to fix the plumbing. She's very resourceful."
