About The Housemaid
Every day I clean the Winchesters' beautiful house top to bottom. I collect their daughter from school. And I cook a delicious meal for the whole family before heading up to eat alone in my tiny room on the top floor. I only try on one of Nina's pristine white dresses once. Just to see what it's like. But she soon finds out, and by the time I realize my attic bedroom door only locks from the outside, it's far too late
