Overview

Irene and Emilia quickly connect over common ground: they're both Latina, working mothers, against giving soda to toddlers, and could use a helping hand. When Irene hires Emilia as a live-in nanny, Emilia gains Irene as an ally in her immigration process. Housed under one roof, they become company to each other's needs, wants, and dreams. As their lives intertwine, can they transcend the divergent realities they were born into and now face?
