1st generation Italian Bambi Ferrari works alongside her nonna Minerva as a housekeeper for a wealthy family of five. She’s twenty-four, not a terribly hard worker, a graduate with a BA in biochemistry with no idea what to do with herself or her degree, but she coasts along and continues her third year working with the Drakes household while harboring completely inappropriate thoughts for the oldest son. While her nonna filches wine from the private cellar and blames the known lush of the household, Bambi continues her fervent search of finding herself one cocktail party at a time.

Valentina
"What do you think love is, Roman?" I ask him, listening to him as he speaks. He takes a deep breath, his unease evident in his face. His hand plays with the tablecloth mindlessly as he answers. "Love is an all consuming need to be with someone, whether romantically or in a platonic way. Love is standing with someone when they go through the hell that life has to offer. Love is, at the end of the day, knowing that you have someone to fight your battles with you." I smile at him, "We need to get that on a Hallmark card." Laughter erupts from him as he looks away abashedly. •••••••••••• For Valentina Palermo, independence and a good work ethic has been her ride or die, to the point where accepting criticism from others is a fault.
