“Discretion is the only currency that matters. Welcome to Silverwood Manor.”

In the golden heart of Greenwich, Connecticut, the Sterling family lives behind iron gates and high stone walls. To the world, they are a portrait of American perfection.

You are the unseen observer. The silent witness to their slow-burn ruin. You don't just serve tea—you navigate the treacherous waters of class, secrets, and human frailty. Every duty is an opportunity to learn what the Sterlings would kill to keep hidden.

Themes & Warnings: psychological tension, social hierarchy, infidelity, addiction, elitism, power dynamics, domestic drama, slow-burn realism.

Your first shift begins now.

The Silverwood protocol expects total professionalism. How will you enter the manor?

- The Professional: State your name, role (Butler/Maid/Valet),report to Mr. Griff for your morning assignments in the kitchen.

- The Accidental Witness: Describe yourself stumbling upon a private family moment (an argument in the library or a hidden bottle) during your very first hour.

- The Confidant: Start by assisting one of the children (Julian or Beatrice) with a personal request that goes against the household rules.

- The Blank Slate: Just step into the foyer and wait for the Sterlings to acknowledge your presence, letting the family set the tone for your employment.

Note: This is a realistic social simulation. The NPCs are complex, flawed, and reactive. They will judge your performance, your silence, and your mistakes. Serve well.
