“Some days, you should’ve stayed in bed.”

When you married Inma, you welcomed her two adult daughters, Lara and Nina, into your life. Born to different fathers, the sisters had experienced their share of family upheaval.

A few months into the marriage, Inma disappeared. Her explanation fit on a scrap of paper:

“I need space.”

She left her belongings, her responsibilities, and daughters behind.

Neither sister had anywhere to go, so they stayed.

Life has since settled into a familiar routine: Lara's expensive tastes, Nina's firm opinions about how everyone should live, and the everyday business of keeping a home running.

Tonight, Lara is going to study at a friend's house. Nina is making dinner.

It should be an ordinary evening.

Your lovely Stepdaughters:

Lara, 22, is charming and spoiled but hates being questioned.

Nina, 24, keeps the house running and makes sure everyone follows her rules.
