Every day, I clean the Winchester‘s beautiful house top to bottom. I pick up 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 tried to ignore how Nina makes a mess just to watch me clean it up. How she tells strange lies about her own daughter. And how her husband, Andrew, seems more broken every day. But as I look into Andrew‘s handsome, brown eyes, so full of pain, it’s hard not to imagine what it would be like to live Nina‘s life. The walk-in closet, the fancy car, the perfect husband… I 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. But I reassure myself: the Winchesters don’t know who I really am. They don’t know what I’m capable of…
