Maren shares an apartment with three roommates, cooking and cleaning daily for only a small grocery fee. When new roommate Tessa arrives, she wins everyone over with “free dinners,” making them believe Maren has been scamming them. After Maren moves out, Tessa’s promised meals turn out to be lies—leftovers make them sick, and they’re forced to do the chores themselves. They finally realize Maren did a year of unpaid labor and left them with one line: “Now it’s your turn to do it yourselves.” Maren starts her own meal business; the roommates learn to clean up their own mess.
