I'll go Mom, don't worry.

Come on Raquel, be nice!

I was thinking that Mercedes could

handle the kitchen and the first floor...

and you could take care

of the kids and the second floor.

The kids only listen to me anyway.

Sure.

And you can show her

around the kitchen.

Open it.

A kitten! Mom!

Kids, come here!

Dad, come! How cute!

What is it?

No running!

Don't think that this house

is like this every day.

A kitten, how cute. It's so pretty.

Look at it, it's beautiful.

Camila, I'm sorry...

but you could ask before

bringing an animal home.

Well, I...

- Oh Dad! It doesn't matter.

- No! It does matter!

It's not a game, you have to feed it,

take care of it, be responsible!

I don't have time to look after animals.

Raque, we'll all take care of it.

Right Dad? Look!

Okay, but I warned you, all right?

I can take care of it,

in Peru we had like six cats.

Get over here!

The large glasses are here.

Don't open that.

Here are the cleaning products.

There are the plates.

The condiments are here.

So what are you going to cook?

Peruvian food?

Yes, a little of everything, right?

The vacuum cleaner

and waxing machine are here.

What are you doing?

Don't give it milk there!

Get it straight,

I don't want that cat indoors.

Hello, hello, hello, you little cutie!

Thanks Mercedes, for taking care

of the cat, you're the best.

It's my pleasure, Miss.

Call me Camila, we're the same age.

Okay, Camila.

I'll make sure he doesn't run away.

What's his name?

- Would you like to name him?

- Me?

Yes.

Are you going to cook or what?

Lucas, stop it.

Can't you see they're scared?

What's going on?

I told you what your chores were,

leave the kids to me!

But they were so scared.

Raquel, it's fine, Mercedes is right,

we got a little wild...

She's got to understand,

we're not in Peru!

Dammit Raquel,

you're being a b*tch!

B*tch?

Let's go.

Mercedes?

Want to see a trick?

Here, pick one...

- Raquel, are you okay?

- Come on.

Good morning.

Lucas, excuse me.

Mom, don't look!

Sorry! Were you practicing?

Yes.

I wanted to talk to you.

I know that Dad should be

the one to tell you this...

Raquel's tired of washing your

sheets and pajamas every day.

What! She said that?

Lucas, it's normal for your age!

Mom, get out!

I don't want to talk about it.

We have to talk about these things!

Mom, get out! Come on! Out.

Lucas! Raquel is just doing her job.

Thanks.

Mercedes!

Mercedes, the grocer!

Open up! What did I tell you?

- Good day, sir.

- Hey, are you new?

Yes, sort of.

Raquel!

Mr. Mundo, good morning.

Hello Mercedes.

Come on in.

Raquel?

Raquel?

Raquel, turn that off please.

How could you leave this girl
