an adult-in-tow is effectively necessary equipment for the attendee to actually attend, even if they do come with a brain installed. If the adult-in-tow also happens to enjoy anime, goody for them! They're still there to help the attendee in the first place.
Exactly my thoughts! In fact, I'd be personally hoping they did have an interest in the convention; free admission doesn't mean free anything else, so they might well be spending money in the dealers' room or art gallery and making your (paying!) dealers and artists happy! Plus, I'd bet most of them will spend money in food areas, so that could make you happy (if food is part of the con service) or the rented space's owners happy (if it's their restaurant/vending machine/whatever)!
