What I Know About Our Cleaning Girl

• She is from Brazil.
• She speaks no English.
• When I want to talk to her, I have to call her sister who used to clean for us until she had a baby.
• She does not vacuum the small rug under the piano bench.
• I have to hide the remotes when she comes or they will be unfindable when she leaves.

It’s like having a spy with no charter come by every few weeks.
