Alice Aroosian is Peter's mother's sister and the daughter of Nafina. As the second daughter of Nafina's first husband, she was witness to her father's death during the genocide, but is young enough to blissfully not remember. Nafina tells of being brutally assaulted while Alice was on her back in an infant sling, and Gladys tells stories of remembering Alice as an infant during the genocide, but Alice herself does not appear in the story. She is mentioned as living in Fresno.
