And with her own mother\\u2019s recent death leaving her bereft and trying to cope with life as a busy working mom, it\\u2019s no wonder she\\u2019s feeling paranoid that Cody has invented a \\u201cNew Granny\\u201d to replace his beloved grandmother.Her husband, Bren, becomes the voice of reason, assuring Georgina that it\\u2019s just a game, the product of their son\\u2019s overactive imagination.
