Berta is the Gilmore family maid who speaks Spanish in Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life.
Berta works for Emily Gilmore after Richard's death and becomes a recurring presence in the revival. Her family members also live in Emily's home, creating a new household dynamic after the loss of Emily's husband.
The character speaks Spanish while Emily does not understand her, producing a continuing language-based comic situation. Berta's name and family are part of the revival's new material rather than the original seven-season storyline.
Berta is sometimes confused with earlier domestic staff members seen at the Gilmore house. The revival introduced her specifically as Emily adjusts to life without Richard.
