Summary
“What this country wants is about five million robots (Good title for a play — Mister Robots), who would do all the dirty jobs.”
From P.G. Wodehouse: A Life in Letters.
Wooster, a robot designer who specialises in adding unintentionally humorous human/computer interactions to charming yet practical sculpts, remakes his schoolboy crush, the family butler. He gives the robot’s AI some oomph from his erstwhile friend-with-benefits Rocky Todd, an American programmer who codes for the ‘entertainment’ market.
Through self-determination and Rocky’s help, the robot becomes the Jeeves of Bertie’s dreams, and then the Jeeves of Jeeves’ dreams.
Read the tags! Heed the warnings! The human Jeeves is dead, but there is a robot Jeeves, so I didn’t use the Major Character Death archive warning. -

Summary
Working as a maid for three of the most terrifying, gorgeous, high-powered women on the planet wasn’t exactly on my bingo card. Yet here I am—dusting priceless furniture and trying not to cry in a walk-in pantry while being judged by women who could either step on me or own my soul. Or both. At the same time.
Every day is chaos. I cook. I clean. I garden. I get stabbed. I get kidnapped. I recover. Then I get dragged into more problems that definitely weren’t in my job description. It’s like the universe went, "Hey, what if we dropped one underqualified, overstimulated gal into a murder mansion and hit record?"
They say I'm the head maid now. Which is weird, because I’m pretty sure I'm the only maid here. But somehow, I’m keeping up—through all the flirting, near-death experiences, existential crises, and more emotional whiplash than any one person should legally be allowed to endure.
Oh yeah... and *ahem* It’s "romantic" comedy meets psychological thriller with a splash of emotional damage.
And maybe… maybe I’m not just surviving anymore.
Maybe this mansion is starting to feel like home... HAH! Yeah, right.
