At The Diner
My name is Abby Eastchase, but some know me as Abigail or simply Abs. My journey began 35 years ago in Australia, a land of endless horizons and diverse beauty. Growing up, I was a curious and ambitious child, always dreaming of new adventures and challenges.
In 2018, I made a bold decision that would change the course of my life forever. I left the familiar shores of Australia and moved to the vibrant, chaotic city of Los Santos. The transition was overwhelming at first, but I quickly found my footing and began to carve out my place in this sprawling metropolis.
When I first arrived in Los Santos, I was quick to find work and became a Paramedic. I have fond memories of having Yoga lessons on the top of my Van.One of my earliest business ventures was taking ownership of the Vanilla Unicorn in 2018. This experience taught me the intricacies of running a business and ignited my passion for entrepreneurship. My success with the Vanilla Unicorn was a stepping stone to greater achievements.
In 2020, I founded Colechase, a business that I nurtured and led until 2023. During this time, I was a Senior Paramedic. I ran with gangs, I smuggled guns for 3 months leading me to prison for 6 years. My hard work with anything I put my mind to, led to my appointment as the Head of the Chamber of Commerce, where I could influence and contribute to the broader business community.
In 2024, I became the owner of The Last Train Diner, a cosy establishment that quickly became a beloved spot for locals and visitors alike. Each of these ventures was more than just a business to me; they were opportunities to create community spaces and connect with people from all walks of life.I also became Bar Certified and started practising law. Acting as a lawyer was one of the most fulfilling roles I've undertaken, as it allowed me to advocate for justice and support those in need.
On the personal front, my life has been a tapestry of love, loss, and resilience. I have been married three times, each marriage bringing its own set of joys and challenges. My family grew in ways I never anticipated; I adopted 15 wonderful children, each one a unique and cherished part of my life. The bond I share with my adopted children is profound, and they have enriched my life in countless ways. I also had one child, my son Tim Artruis. Losing Tim was a heartbreak that left an indelible mark on my soul, shaping much of who I am today.
Throughout my life, I have been blessed with an abundance of friendships. My friends have been my pillars of strength, offering support, laughter, and companionship through every twist and turn of my journey.
Now, as I reflect on my life, I find myself in a serene chapter. I have retired from the bustling world of business and relocated to a tranquil island not far from the Australian mainland. Here, I spend my days surrounded by nature, embracing a slower pace of life, and cherishing the peace that comes with it.
Looking back, my life has been an extraordinary adventure. From Australia to Los Santos and back to a quiet island, I have lived fully, loved deeply, and faced every challenge with determination and grace. My story is one of resilience, passion, and the enduring power of human connection. As I continue to write new chapters in my life, I remain grateful for every experience that has brought me to this moment of reflection and contentment.
