Sandy does not leave the Oasis, and can be found there when the store is open, from 9am to 11:50pm except on Winter 25. On Winter 25, despite the Feast of the Winter Star, the bus still operates on Pam's regular schedule, allowing the player access to the desert; however, the Oasis is locked.
Relationships
Sandy allows Mr. Qi to operate his casino behind her shop. It's clear they're not close, but she accepts his money and "looks the other way" with whatever he's doing back there. She also mentions that she's friends with Emily; during the first meeting with the player she mentions that Emily wrote to her about "the new farmer" in town.
You can give Sandy up to two gifts per week (plus one on

“A birthday gift? That's very kind of you! I love it.”
“
“You remembered my birthday! Thank you. This is great!”

At any friendship level greater than zero friendship points, you may receive a gift in the mail from Sandy. The chance of receiving a gift in the mail increases as your friendship with Sandy increases.
I was so bored out here in the desert that I wrote you a letter. There's a recipe for a delicious soup enclosed. Come visit me soon!

As stated at the top of the page, Sandy is not her real name. The game never discloses what her real name is.
Sandy may randomly request items at the Help Wanted board outside Pierre's General Store. The monetary reward may be less than the cost of a bus ticket to the Desert.
Sandy occasionally says "You look really thirsty. Here, have a taste of this ice cold milk." and gives the player Milk when talked to.
