I agree... Maybe like my friend, she lives next to an elderly lady she calls "Grandma". Maybe this is the same thing with Peach and the elderly Toad.

Article title should be "Grandma", which is what she's referred to in the game. Also, I don't think she's intended to be Peach's actual grandmother, and that the use of "Grandma" in the English version is a mistranslation of her Japanese name, "Obaasan", which can mean both "grandmother" or simply a respectful title to an eldery woman. (Similarly, "Ojiisan" can mean grandfather or a respectful title to an elderly man.) Given Grandma's species, I would say that she and Peach are not biologically related.

I agree... Maybe like my friend, she lives next to an elderly lady she calls "Grandma". Maybe this is the same thing with Peach and the elderly Toad.
