商品簡介
When aspiring artist Masayo is offered the opportunity to become a live-in housekeeper for Goro Kawakubo, prominent art teacher and the son of a renowned painter, it seems like a dream come true. She would be receiving lessons from Goro and in turn tutoring his eight-year-old daughter, Momoko, who's been a little too withdrawn since losing her mother. The child's only companion is her cat, Lala.
While Masayo gradually wins her way into Momoko's heart, the girl's father begins to exert a charismatic spell over her. Everything seems to point a certain way until Goro presents the gorgeous Chinatsu - a lioness who is determined to be the new Mrs. Kawakubo.
