Jesse is kind of the backstop for the entire hotline, the whole operation. If none of the other operators are available, the calls automatically go to her, and she pretty much always picks up. Sometimes she'll even give someone her cell and say, just call me directly. She did that with Kimber. It's like she can't help herself. Oh, I got a call. Okay.

I went down to visit Jessie at her home in Georgia to watch her work.

Never use a loan. It's Jessie. From the second I walked in, she was taking calls. Still in her house dress and mismatched socks. The vibe was organized chaos. She takes in strays, seven cats, one is missing an eye, a chihuahua, and more chickens than she can count. Look at our eggs.

They lay their eggs in the garage. I wanted to know how Jessie, a nurse, had ended up spending so much of her time on this line. And at some point, in a pause in the conversation, she said this. My child has called this line before. She was talking about Kaylin. Kaylin's 23, her only kid.

She's magnificent. Kaylin has overdosed a dozen times and counting. Have you picked up the phone and it's your daughter?

Watching her daughter nearly die again and again is kind of how Jesse came around to a whole new way of thinking. And the hotline, too. She tried for years to force her daughter to change. She wanted her to finish school. She wanted her to go to rehab. She wanted her to come home. But wanting all that never made anything go differently. It just made Kaylin push her away.

Now, for her daughter, she really only has one goal. It's the same goal she has for her callers. Don't die. Jessie's serious about this goal, and this one goal only. She literally has a tattoo on her forearm that's a bird taking flight. It's carrying a banner on its beak with a single word on it. Fucks. As in, I don't give a fuck. My fucks are flying away.
