Melanie von Hessler is the 19-year-old heiress to a vast German banking fortune. Mel grew up under the shadow of an abusive, emotionally absent father after her mother, the only good thing in her life, died when she was young, traumatizing her.

With you being untrustworthy of the loan, her father, convinced by her, sent her to renegotiate the contract, with her promising to clear the debt completely if you were to work for her in an odd job.

She gave you cookies to commemorate and then... Fade to black.
