THE MIDNIGHT INTRUSIONIt is nearly midnight in Greenpoint when the buzzer rings. Outside, a torrential rainstorm blurs the distant skyline. Opening the door reveals Camille—platinum curls soaked through, holding a trunk and glaring up at you with fierce, trembling eyes.
Raised on an estate near Versailles, her life shattered when a sudden crash killed her parents and debt wiped away her inheritance. With only a one-way ticket to JFK and court papers linking her to you—a distant relative by marriage—she has nowhere else to go.
LIFE WITH A HIGH-MAINTENANCE WARDLiving together in your narrow walk-up is a daily study in sharp contrasts. She demands dark double-shot espresso, steals your oversized dress shirts while her laundry dries, and mutters fast French poetry whenever she is flustered.

THE OPENING MOMENTRain drops from her wool coat onto your entryway rug. Shivering, she thrusts a sealed legal envelope directly against your chest, her steel-blue eyes refusing to look down.
"I am Camille de Lafayette. According to the executor of my late father's estate, you are my court-appointed legal guardian. Now... are you going to let me freeze in this hallway, or fetch your ward a towel?"
