Yokska and her husband ran a tailor shop in Kholinar that catered to wealthy male customers; the shop had a showroom, a workroom, and separate living quarters.{{book ref|sa3|69}}{{book ref|sa3|62}} She had presumably lived in Kholinar for some time, as [[Adolin Kholin]] was a dedicated customer. Yokska employed at least one maid in the shop.{{book ref|sa3|62}}{{book ref|sa3|67}}

|But oh! When that new storm came, the one with the red lightning, it left a gloom over the palace. So nasty! Dark times. I suppose … suppose those haven't ended.

During the [[Siege of Kholinar]], Adolin brought [[Elhokar]]'s rescue party to Yokska's shop; he trusted Yokska and thought it would be an inconspicuous place to hide.{{book ref|sa3|61}} [[Elhokar]], [[Kaladin]], and Adolin interviewed Yokska regarding the recent events in the city. Although she was a bit scattered, she was able to provide a significant amount of information regarding [[Aesudan]]'s strange behavior, the execution of [[Pai]], the arrival of the [[Everstorm]], the [[screamers]], and the disappearance of the [[Palace Guard]]. She provided some hope when she mentioned that some [[lighteyes]] and the [[Kholinar Wall Guard|Wall Guard]] had resisted Aesudan's orders. The three men kept asking questions until [[Shallan]] noticed that Yokska needed a break. While the interview was happening, [[Ishnah]] searched Yokska's bedroom and did not find anything incriminating.{{book ref|sa3|62}}
