Official synopsis Publisher
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 try 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. I only try on one of Nina’s pristine white dresses once. Just to see what it’s like. But soon she 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 that the Winchesters don’t know who I really am. And they don’t know what I’m capable of.
