Caretaker question and language that Mama spoke!!!


Was this a religious compound. It is never clearly explained why Joseph was the caretaker (caretaker of what??) and what language was the grandmother speaking. I thought they might be amish but no, that can't be it. They lived a modern life. Very confusing.
