"Well" does not serve any grammatical purpose in the sentence. That is because, in this context, "well" is an interjection, a word that expresses emotion. Depending on how it is enunciated, "well" can imply impatience, surprise, nervousness, and a variety of other emotions. Ex: Well, are you going to answer the question? Ex: Well, isn't that lovely.
