This housemaid derived unusual pride in her work.
The wealthy family who employed her was a small one, and she loved them. Just a little bit too much.
She cultivated an alternative reality online in her secret blog, where she was the mistress of the house.
Sharing heavily manipulated pictures and information about herself and her “perfect family”, she revelled in the praise given by her unknowing readers.
She jumps at the chance to make fantasy reality when a news outlet calls about an interview.
But her web of lies begins to unravel as the reporter turns out to be a con man.
Pride comes before a fall, and with her employer’s unexpected visit home mid-robbery, she’s set for a painful fall from grace.
