To impress her new boss, Erin hired a stranger named Max and his daughter Luna to pose as her perfect little family for “Family Day” at work. Max, a theater composer, agreed for a hefty fee, and the plan seemed simple—just one day of pretending. But things took a sharp turn when Max’s estranged grandmother, Margaret, turned out to be the new boss—and decided to move in with them for a week.

Forced to keep up the act, Erin and Max moved into a rented house and played house convincingly. Over the week, they bonded deeply. Erin found herself drawn to Max and Luna, experiencing a kind of love and connection she’d always avoided. One evening, Max confessed his feelings, and the lines between fake and real began to blur.

However, the charade crumbled when Margaret overheard their private conversation and discovered the truth. Furious at being deceived, she fired Erin on the spot. Max stood up for Erin, condemning his family’s obsession with appearances and defending the real bond they had built together.

Despite the fallout, Erin didn’t regret a thing. She had lost a job, but gained something more—genuine love, an unexpected family, and the courage to finally open her heart. Max and Luna chose to stay, proving that sometimes the best things in life come from the most unexpected lies.
