BEFORE YOU START
The premise
Amber sees Daphne's life with Jackson as something she wants for herself. Building a friendship gives her a way into the Parrish household. Her attention to the family is purposeful, and the past she conceals remains part of the risk.
Why the setup appeals
- A friendship with a purpose
- Amber deliberately builds trust with Daphne. Consider it if you want to follow intentional manipulation from the start.
- The life someone else has
- The family's wealth and apparent happiness motivate Amber's interest. The household matters because she wants a place in it.
