In the housekeeping business, nothing is so important as determination and good spirits. The man she hoped to marry said he had a lucrative foreign investment plan; risky, but a success would mean comfort for the rest of their lives. It was risky, he said, with more than money at stake, but the margins were too good to pass up. With high hopes for a beautiful wedding in both their hearts, he left to seek his fortune.

That was almost ten years ago, when she was still a marriageable age. His sweetheart was left with nothing but her career as a maid. With so much time to put into her employment as a maid, she never found an opportunity to go chasing love again. As an upshot, she rose from a simple housekeeper to the head of a staff of such; responsible for scheduling their visits, but not so high and mighty that she was above a visit to a client's household for service. Not that it's an ideal position for her, given how awkward it is to maneuver her lower half in the tight crannies that most needed cleaning, but she managed.
