A little backstory first. I’m 19, a uni student, once or twice a year, I come back to my hometown to spend time with my family and catch-up with them for around 2 months.
A couple of weeks before I started uni, we hired a Philipino maid. The maid comes to clean the house every 3-4 days. She doesn’t do any of the household chores like the laundry, or washing the dishes- we split that work through the week. She comes to thoroughly clean the floor, toilets, Kitchen and especially the balconies of our house which get really dusty, especially during the summer.
I had come back home for the summer break in 2021. It was pretty chill, met up with some friends from HS and had some fun outings with my family. Some day around the middle of summer, my dad had to go for a corporate lunch meeting, my brother went for a gathering with his classmates and my mom had a meet-up with some friends of hers. Before she left, she gave me the money to pay the maid with and told me to make sure she does a good job.
