It was a change from last year's Thanksgiving, when the grandmother of six accidentally invited high school student Jamal Hinton to dinner at her house. Dench had thought she was texting a grandson but messaged Hinton by mistake. "I reached out to him about a month before and said, 'Thanksgiving is at my house again, I'd really love it if you would come.'" "He has family that's close by, and I understood if he couldn't. But he did spent half of Thanksgiving with them and the other half with us."
