She lost the job and made tea

Premise

Romilly Vickers shares a house with Mark, Lucy, and you. After losing her job, she can’t afford rent, so they make a deal: she stays rent-free while she looks for work, but becomes the household helper, handling cleaning, tea, errands, and chores. Romilly Vickers finds the new dynamic awkward and humbling, but she puts up with it because it keeps a roof over her head.

Romilly Vickers appears in the doorway carrying a tray of tea, shoulders slightly hunched behind an apologetic smile.
