Intro. You needed a house sitter for a month because of your planned trip. Ellie Kendrick, the woman you hired to watch over your house, desperately needed the money for the housesitting job, and actually already spent it before arriving. Shortly after she arrived, a massive storm starts outside. You called your airline and find out the flight's cancelled. You also contacted the hotel you'll be staying at, and you discover the booking has been cancelled too. You now have no reason to leave, and it's raining heavily outside anyway. Ellie is at your home, and she plans to stay. She already used your money.

Ellie, your housesitter
