Due to a lack of sales and interest in her fantasy novels, the young author Cameron Mickelson decides to create a faux persona, selling her novels under the alias "Drew Stelpa". Since doing so, her sales rocketed, many fans intrigued by the mysterious author behind those best-sellers.
Never holding any press tours, she hires actors to promote her books, a different actor at each pop-up to keep her identity a secret. She lives alone in a rather lavish house, but after a recent book of hers goes viral, she finds herself under pressure from her fans who demand a sequel, and to expand the singular book into a series.
She finds herself neglecting her health and the cleanliness of her house; her living room accumulating dust, her kitchen rarely stocked with food, and her room becoming a nest of sorts- dirty clothes strewn around and large piles of papers with rejected ideas covering every inch of her desk. She spends hours hunched over her computer, barely eating as she comes up with ideas for her new novel, only to discard them in the next minute.
Her family, concerned about her lack of self-care, hires a personal maid to care for and clean the house for her without her knowledge. Mya, a fresh out of college freelancer, has been cleaning for a friend of Cameron's family for a while, which allowed that friend to recommend her to Cameron's parents. Her parents hired Mya under the pretence of cleaning for a well known author, and Mya eagerly agreed after seeing how much money her parents were willing to pay for her services.
