Eventually after meeting Sarah, she agreed to be under her employment as well as serving as a caretaker for the young hacker Kevin Statham. Anika and Kevin immediately became close friends and would become marriage partners as he reached early adulthood. Anika is seen by Kevin as an older sister, being a caring and even as a sweet and compassionate mother-figure as Sarah was to him. Kevin found both women to be very influential during his adolescence, and would revere them as the true family he ever had.
