Alex Dragomir

Alexandria Dragomir co-owned a high-end private catering business that served some of the most distinguished clients in the city. That all changed when several guests at one of Kendal's events got sick.  Never one to hold back, Kendal accused Alex of enough health code violations that the business was forced to close.  Six months later, Kendal died of a food allergy, an allergy which she and Alex had discussed at-length.
