She looks like a builder and moves around. She's not in a specific spot.

I don't have her. I have checked several times and even closed my app and reopened it.

I have several towns spread over different devices, both Android and iOS. All show the same woman in the park, so I'm a little puzzled why it's not showing for you.
Any discovery quests in the queue? Or one of the quest buildings in building progress?

This is what she looks like:

I've started this and have got as far as read the magazine for over 5 hours but I've realised I'm away, with no internet Friday til Monday... Is there a way of pausing it so I don't miss out? I'm still saving up for the Royalty thing and notice that I need to do this patio quest in order to unlock the Royalty bit.... I find everything about this game impossible to achieve. It takes the fun out of it.
