MILLIE
“Tell me about yourself, Millie.”
Nina Winchester leans forward on her caramel-colored
leather sofa, her legs crossed to reveal just the slightest hint of
her knees peeking out under her silky white skirt.
I don’t know
much about labels, but it’s obvious everything Nina
Winchester is wearing is painfully expensive. Her cream
blouse makes me long to reach out to feel the material, even
though a move like that would mean I’d have no chance of
getting hired.
To be fair, I have no chance of getting hired anyway.
“Well…” I begin, choosing my words carefully. Even after
all the rejections, I still try. “I grew up in Brooklyn. I’ve had a
lot of jobs doing housework for people, as you can see from
my resume.” My carefully doctored resume.
“And I love
children. And also…” I glance around the room, looking for a
doggy chew toy or a cat litter box. “I love pets as well?”
The online ad for the housekeeper job didn’t mention pets.
But better to be safe. Who doesn’t appreciate an animal lover?
“Brooklyn!” Mrs. Winchester beams at me. “I grew up in
Brooklyn, too. We’re practically neighbors!”
“We are!” I confirm, even though nothing could be further
from the truth. There are plenty of coveted neighborhoods in
Brooklyn where you’ll fork over an arm and a leg for a tiny
townhouse. That’s not where I grew up. Nina Winchester and I
couldn’t be more different, but if she’d like to believe we’re
neighbors, then I’m only too happy to go along with it.
Mrs. Winchester tucks a strand of shiny, golden-blond hair
behind her ear. Her hair is chin-length, cut into a fashionable
bob that de-emphasizes her double chin. She’s in her late
thirties, and with a different hairstyle and different clothing,
she would be very ordinary-looking. But she has used her
considerable wealth to make the most of what she’s got. I can’t
say I don’t respect that.
I have gone the exact opposite direction with my
appearance. I may be over ten years younger than the woman
sitting across from me, but I don’t want her to feel at all
threatened by me. So for my interview, I selected a long,
chunky wool skirt that I bought at the thrift store and a
polyester white blouse with puffy sleeves. My dirty-blond hair
is pulled back into a severe bun behind my head. I even
purchased a pair of oversized and unnecessary tortoiseshell
glasses that sit perched on my nose. I look professional and
utterly unattractive.
