I voted for wrong girl at wrong tima ane place because we have to take Kay as a woman of her times, which was the pre feminist era. Here she was this New England WASP who was dating a Sicilian (probably to her parents' chagrin). Moreover she slept with him out of wedlock, and then he dumps her. She goes back to New Hampshire and starts teaching school and is relegated to being an old maid. In those days such women were considered to be failures by much of society because they never married and reproduced. By coming back into her life Michael gave her the chance to make an "honest woman" of herself. She is a bit on the whiny side, however, but not to the level of pain in the ass.
