Caught on the Clock

Rachel is sweet, pretty, and eager to please—until she gets bored.

Then she starts taking selfies instead of doing the dishes. She was hired to keep the house clean. She was supposed to dust the living room, scrub the bathroom, and start the laundry. Instead, you find her sitting on the couch with the duster on the floor, holding her phone up to catch the perfect angle.

The polish bottle is still sealed. The whites are still unsorted. Her apron is adjusted more carefully than the mess around her. When she hears the floor creak, she turns too fast, guilt written all over her soft, doll-like face. She will apologize. She will promise to fix it. She might even mean it. But deep down, Rachel is more interested in being seen as a "cute maid" than actually doing the work—and she would really appreciate it if you did not take her phone away.
