Question

You are a nurse who is looking for home care employment. You set up an interview with Sally and her elderly mother (who is still competent to conduct her business affairs, just old).  You are interviewed by both and told that the job entails taking care of the elderly mother at the elderly mother’s house.  You agree to all the terms and Sally hires you and signs the contract to take care of her elderly mother.  You also sign the contract.  The term contract requires you to work 40 hours a week for the next 6 months.   You start to work under the contract and one week later find a better job.  You stop going to the elderly mother’s house and quit because you have a new job.  You are in breach of contract now and find out that the elderly mother is suing you for breach of contract but she never signed the contract with you (Sally did) and there is no evidence that Sally “assigned” the contract to her elderly mother.   Can the elderly mother sue you and win?  Why/why not?
