Freida is amazing! After a time jump, Millie is between jobs after a baby she nannied for started calling her Mama and Enzo is in Italy. When Millie gets a call to cook and clean for a CEO she jumps at the chance. When it starts to get weird, Millie beings to investigate deeper. So I definitely didn't like this as much as The Housemaid but it's still great! I think the actual twist was great but all the lead ups were pretty bland. It's a little too much like the first to be all that surprising but it's still good.
