Laraven Davis handed her six-month-old daughter to employees at a Jiffy Lube store in Mableton, a city just 20 miles northwest of Atlanta , around 8.30 a.m. Saturday.
“She came up to me and my coworker, Elijah, with a stroller,” assistant manager Jarayya Mayes told Fox 5 Atlanta.
“And she was like, hey, doesn't my baby look so cute? Is my baby so cute? We were like, yeah, babies adorable. And she was. She was absolutely adorable.”
Mayes said she had never spoken to Davis previously but had seen her walking near the business.
“She just kept saying: ‘The paperwork is in the bag,’” Mayes told the outlet. “‘You guys can just have her if I don’t make it back.’”
