BEFORE YOU START
The premise
The job offers a fresh start: cleaning, cooking and school pickups for the Winchester family, with a room in their home. But the housemaid has secrets of her own, and her employer Nina's behavior makes daily life uncertain.
Why the setup appeals
- Home and work in the same place
- Consider this setup if you like a character whose job puts her close to a family's private life.
- Secrets on both sides
- The family is not the only unknown. The housemaid's own secrets add another reason to question appearances.
