Shelly, portrayed by Carol Kane, is Melissa's aging hippy mother. Shelly has being described by Melissa as not being completely right in the head due to pot use, joking that her mother never really made it home from Woodstock.
History[]
Melissa lives with her mother, who apparently used to work at Yellowstone Park but was fired for growing marijuana. Melissa was also born in the Arizona desert, which according to Shelly was a natural child birth, despite the use of pot, peyote buttons and biting down on a rope. Shelly was first seen when Melissa brought Alan to her home and seen a second time at Alan's 40th Birthday party, which Melissa invites Alan to live with them. Alan accidentally ate pot-infused banana bread and has sex with Shelly, prompting Melissa to kick Alan out and break up with him.
