Plot
Samantha Sweeting is a workaholic lawyer. After a mental breakdown, she walks out of her London office, gets on a train at Paddington station, and ends up in the middle of nowhere. Sweeting knocks on the doors of a well-kept manor where she is mistaken for an interviewee and finds herself being offered a job as a housekeeper. The employers are unaware of her true identity. Severely ill-equipped, Sweeting realises she has no relevant experience and is wholly unsuited to the role. She manages to cope, learns housekeeper skills and eventually finds love.[1]
