Work, go home, go back to work, eat a cheap frozen meal, watch an episode of a old show, go to sleep. Then, do it over and over again until it's all you know.
This is a normal routine for Ariana Greene. It's what she knows how to do. It's how she survives. As a recent college graduate, she doesn't have the luxury her peers have to go out and actually live their life's before settling with families and finding jobs. For Ariana, her life started early. She hates having to work, work, and work some more until she finally exhausts herself. She hates that she doesn't have the time nor the money to be like other people her age.
Until her prayers finally get answered by getting a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
As a waitress in a restaurant, Ariana's days start and end the same. She serves a family, acts nice, and in return gets a small tip. Life works in mysterious ways, and Ariana finally got to see it first hand. After comforting a small child, Ariana comes face-to-face with the magazine and billboard plastered billionaire and CEO, Victoria Saxe.
Victoria gives Ariana an offer she can't refuse. It's simple, taking care of her child and becoming a nanny while she works in exchange for more money a week that Ariana has heard of in her life.
Life works in mysterious ways, and Ariana can only hope that it's for the better instead of for the worse.
