Mrs. Crustworthy is an elderly woman who has made recurring appearances on Sesame Street.

She made her debut in a 2006 episode as a Hooper's Store customer. She later re-appeared in various other episodes, earning her name in a 2007 episode.

In the latter, she takes her toaster to the Fix-It Shop for repair, for the Society's luncheon. She desperately needs it fixed, "or I'm toast!" When it takes a while to be repaired, she partakes in "The Toast Lovers' Participatory Popping Game", which is pretending you're a piece of toast in a toaster. The waiting pays off and the toaster is ready.

The character is mentioned on Fran Brill's Puppeteering Resume. In fact, the character is based on an old woman who Fran knew as a child.^[1]
