A Guest In Her Home

Brandi (Haley Reed) seethes with disgust at her spineless mother, Maureen, especially after getting booted from school and dumped in this stifling office hell until Maureen's shift ends. The confined space amplifies her rage; she needles Maureen relentlessly, mocking her weakness, her inability to stand tall. How do you bow to someone so gutless, so devoid of fire? Maureen fumbles for authority, but Brandi sees right through the facade—pure cowardice. Tension crackles as Maureen's boss, Ava Best (Tasha Reign), strides in, her gaze locking onto Brandi like a predator scenting fresh meat. Ava's flirtation hits hard and unapologetic, a sultry leer and bold words that leave Brandi reeling in outrage. She shoots desperate glances at Maureen, begging for intervention, but her mother just stammers a pathetic introduction, folding like wet paper. Worse, when Ava clocks the mother-daughter rift spilling into work territory, her face darkens with fury—she dangles Maureen's job over the edge, ready to sever it clean. Maureen crumbles into sobs, groveling on her knees for mercy, a broken shell. Pity stirs in Brandi despite the chasm between them; she can't lose this fragile lifeline. She steps up, voice sharp, defending the woman who birthed her. But Maureen, true to form, dodges blame entirely. In a desperate bid to placate the furious boss, she thrusts Brandi forward like currency: 'Take her for the weekend—anything to keep my position.' Ava's lips curl in wicked triumph, snatching the offer without hesitation. Brandi stands frozen, betrayal slicing deep—how could her own blood sell her out to this domineering vixen, trading her innocence for scraps of security in a haze of forbidden hunger? The air thickens with unspoken promises of raw, illicit surrender.
