Jolene at the orphanage must be at least 13 when Beth arrives, aged 9, but is still there 6 years later.
The Mexican would presumably be within a year or two of his American penpal, but the actors are 13 years apart.

Isn't Beth 13 when she leaves? So 4yrs later. So if Jolene was actually 11 or 12, she could plausibly still be there?
