Benjamin Horne is one of the wealthiest citizens of Twin Peaks, and is the employer of Laura's father. Audrey is his daughter, similar in age to Laura. Johnny is his mentally disabled son. Audrey plays less of a role in the narrative than either her father or brother, with the former being a mysterious, slightly sinister presence - Laura describes him as enjoying it when she sits on his lap, the implication being that even when she's a little girl, he is sexually attracted to her.
