Living with Emmy
While working for Sterling Robotics, Ted purchased Emmy as a Christmas gift for his family.[9] Emmy helped care for and raise Madeline for four years.[3]
The birthday incident
During Madeline's 8th birthday party, Emmy malfunctions and involuntarily sprayed her birthday cake with fire retardant after seeing its sparkler candles, destroying it. Her father Ted attempted to stop Emmy, but she sprayed him as well.[10] While initially heartbroken at having her cake destroyed and not being able to make her wish, Madeline still forgives Emmy for the incident[11] and eagerly awaits Emmy's return[12] and even makes her a get-well-soon card.[4]
Behind the scenes
Madeline's name is taken from the series originally created by Ludwig Bemelmans, as Dominic Cellini loved the cartoon as a child. [13] Her and her families design likely came out fully formed because they are based in common White Anglo-Saxon Protestants archetypes.[14]
