What are Stardew Valley Evelyn's heart events? 

Naturally, Evelyn isn't a character eligible for betrothal despite how much you might treat her like the special lady she is - she's already happily married to George, bless - and so she doesn't have as many heart events as other characters. However, if you keep her sweet, she can pop a few gifts in the mail for you, which never hurts.

Event How to trigger
Any friendship level above zero hearts Evelyn can send you a gift in the mail at any time
Four hearts Enter Evelyn's home while she's inside
Seven hearts Evelyn will send a recipe in the mail

Where is Evelyn during the green rain event in the summer?

During the summer of your first year in Pelican Town, you'll likely experience an odd phenomenon. The green rain event turns the town on its axis a little because everyone's plans change and their routines differ from normal. This can make it a little difficult to keep track of where everyone is, especially if you're in the middle of a quest and you need to find them. Evelyn, however, is quite easy to find during the green rain day. You can find her chilling out in her kitchen, waiting out the storm.

But that's everything you need to know about Stardew Valley's Evelyn. If you're looking for more handy tips and tricks to create the very best farm this side of Zuzu City, then we've got a guide on Stardew Valley fish so you can make a quick buck and cook up some delicious meals.
