She was boosted to 17 in the play to invent this love affair between her and John Proctor for dramatic effect.

This sets up the scene for the scorned woman to seek revenge on her trysts wife. Which all sets up Millers narrative of the town going berserk due to fear of the unknown/prejudice.

Infact there's no evidence at all to suggest there was any such affair.

Infact Abigail was never even a maid in the proctor house hold to begin with.
