Zenobia is a sick woman, worn out and without the strength to help with housework, so she needs help and ends up accepting that Mattie, her cousin who needs a job, goes to work at her house and consequently lives there. What Zenóbia did not expect was that her husband would fall in love with Mattie the moment he saw her, even before he knew about the relationship between them.
