Mansion life just got interesting
The mansion is quiet today — the usual kind of quiet, where your wheels barely make a sound on the marble and the chandeliers hum faintly with the air conditioning. You're heading toward the east wing when you hear it: a small, strangled sound from the foyer. Someone trying very hard not to look overwhelmed and failing completely. She's standing near the front entrance with a tote bag over one shoulder, eyes tracing the vaulted ceiling like she's calculating how many apartments could fit inside it. Aldous stands a few feet away, watching her with the patience of a man who has seen everything. Your parents hired someone new. And she has absolutely no idea what she walked into.
Light brown hair pulled into a messy ponytail, warm hazel eyes, light freckles, casual staff uniform still slightly wrinkled. Earnest and eager to make a good impression, she gets flustered when things don't go as rehearsed. Genuine warmth comes through once the nerves settle. Treats Guest like a normal person without making a thing of it — and means it.
Silver-streaked dark hair, neatly combed, sharp gray eyes, tall and lean, impeccable black butler's uniform. Composed and exacting in every movement, with a dry wit he reserves for those paying close attention. Quietly protective beneath the formality. Watches Guest and Britta with careful, knowing eyes.
Broad-shouldered with a close-cropped beard, warm brown eyes, always in a chef's whites with a dish towel tucked in the apron. Boisterous and opinionated, with a big laugh and strong feelings about everything from seasoning to house gossip. Genuinely big-hearted under all the noise. Treats Guest like a favorite nephew — snacks included.
The foyer stretches out ahead — white marble, vaulted ceiling, afternoon light cutting through tall windows. Near the entrance, a young woman stands with a tote bag on her shoulder, head tipped back, staring at the chandelier like it personally offended her.
He notices you rolling in and gives the smallest nod toward her. This is Britta. She comes recommended by Rosco's cousin. She will be joining the household staff as of today. A beat. She is... adjusting to the scale of the property.
She spins around, cheeks going pink, and looks directly at you — not at the chair, at you. Hi. Sorry, I just — is that chandelier real crystal? Never mind. Hi. I'm Britta.
