..how did she get away with it ? It's hard to mask a 23 year age difference.

The same way Dolezal got away with it: it's such a crazy lie that no one questions it. It's obvious in retrospect, when someone is looking, but no one is looking day to day. We overestimate our detective skills reading these things because we're genre savvy, we know we're in a story with something to find out. In real life, we don't suspect there is a secret to detect.

Just a guess: meth can age people in their 20s so badly that nobody will ask questions if you show up to that kind of DV-and-detox scene looking 40. I know two women with unguessable-ages-in-a-bad-way because of that.

Ah. That makes good sense. I don't see know many people like that here, so it didn't occur to me.

I know a woman who as far as I know has never done any drugs, but just looks 40 when she's actually 22. Some people just have old faces.

Wrinkles & all are hard to get at an early age.
