She had never had a husband or children, but a nephew visited her regularly, as did a police officer, and everyone in the neighbourhood liked her. My former classmate spoke of her with warmth and respect, and added that Emerence was a caretaker, someone with a bit of authority; she hoped the woman would take us on, because frankly, if she didn't warm to us, no amount of money would induce her to accept the job.
I get somehow confused to get its meaning!
Dose it mean: apart from her nephew a police officer visited her regularly too? Or Does it mean: her nephew is a police officer?
