In 2018, Najia was hired as general manager of Jack Robertson's Sheffield hotel. She was swiftly fired due to the poor state of the hotel rooms thanks to a giant spider outbreak. Embarrassed, she called Yaz to pick her up and was threatened at gunpoint by Kevin for trespassing.

Najia met the Thirteenth Doctor, Ryan Sinclair, Graham O'Brien and Dr Jade McIntyre at the hotel after they found the link between the hotel and the giant spider outbreak. Najia seemed somewhat concerned at the Doctor's presence and believed that she and Yaz were in a relationship before the latter clarified they were friends. Y
