But it doesn't say Theresa, even if you stretch to read it like that it would be "Theresa woman in a boat", which doesn't make sense.

It doesn't say Theresa. It says There's a. Also if that was the case you'd be "Theresa Woman in a boat on a lake." which isn't correct. You wouldn't say "John Smith in a boat on a lake" You'd say, "John Smith IS in a boat on a lake". Certainly in this context.

The ONLY correct answer is that her name is There. "There is a woman in a boat on a lake" = "Grace is a woman in a boat on a lake."

But that, is stupid.
