“My name is Samantha. I'm 29 years old. I've never baked a loaf of bread in my life. I can't sew on a button. What I do know is how to restructure a corporate finance agreement and save my client thirty million pounds.”Samantha is a high-powered lawyer in London. She works all hours, has no home life, and only cares about getting a partnership. She thrives on the pressure and the adrenalin. Until one day… she makes a mistake. A mistake so huge, it will wreck her career.She goes into meltdown, walks right out of the office, gets on the first train she sees, and finds herself in the middle of nowhere. Asking for directions at a big, beautiful house, she is mistaken for the interviewee housekeeper and finds herself being offered the job. They've no idea they’ve hired a Cambridge educated lawyer with an IQ of 158 as their housekeeper - Samantha has no idea how to work the oven.Disaster ensues. It's chaos as Samantha battles with the washing machine... the ironing board... and attempts to cook a cordon bleu dinner...
