The Help background

The Help

Maria's life took an unexpected turn when her mother's illness required her to leave her beautician training to care for her at home. After her mother's passing, Maria found a new role as the maid for an eccentric household.

The show is about Maria, a 22-year-old who was on her way to becoming a beautician, but had to come home to care for her ailing mother. After her mother's passing, Maria took a new job as a maid for the wealthy Ridgeway dynasty. As one of the many servants, Maria is responsible for mundane tasks such as dusting, vacuuming, and caring for the family's poodle. However, the show is not just about the class struggle between the wealthy family and their servants, but also about the rivalries and conflicts among the servants themselves.
