History
Season One
In season 1, Carmen worked under Alejandro Rubio, alongside Odessa Burakov and Sam Alexander. Burakov initially acts harshly towards Carmen. As the season unfolds, their relationship begins to improve. Carmen does not enjoy working as a maid as she feels she is too clumsy. As the series develops, she falls in love with Sam, who works alongside Carmen. Unfortunately, at the end of the season, he leaves in search of a better life for them, only for their relationship to dissolve. Additionally, Carmen and her friends take it upon themselves to investigate the death of Flora, a former maid who was killed at the Powell's house.[4]
As the season draws to a close, she becomes engaged to Alejandro, in an attempt to hide his homosexuality that proves futile. As a result of his jealous boyfriend, with whom he had separated to marry Carmen, the media was informed of his sexuality. The wedding was cancelled.[5][6]
Season Two
The second season premiered on April 20, 2014. The season centers on the mystery story of Opal, the new, 40-something maid, played by Joanna P. Adler. The character is described as "reminiscent of Mrs. Danvers from Hitchcock's Rebecca" and is seen as a threat to Marisol's new relationship with Nicholas.[1] The second season also deals with Rosie working for an African-American family that is scheming to harm an elderly man she has hired to act as a caregiver, Zoila must deal with her estrangement from her husband Pablo, while her daughter Valentina tries to distance herself from Remi and Zoila and downplay the attention of pool boy Ethan. Ethan and new body guard, Tony are hired by Adrian and Evelyn Powell in the wake of a series of robberies. Deadly consequences ensue for Alejandro, who is killed during their heist at his party.
