Elsewhere in the city, people had been reading adverts for the Asian 'maid/home help service' which had started up. One family had decided to try it out, so they contacted the company and requested the 'one week free trial' from the advert.

The next day, there came a small knock at the door.

Opening it, they came face to face with a young Asian woman, wearing a pink maids dress with a transparent cape over it. She was holding an overnight bag, and a letter of introduction.

“My name is Ashiko. I am 18, and trained in all the necessary skills to run a busy household. The only thing I cannot do is talk, but I do understand spoken English. I also have strict dietary requirements, which I will take care of myself, both eating and drinking.”

Letting Ashiko in, they hung her cape up on a hangar, then showed her around the house.

The husband and wife were both surprised about how small Ashiko was. They knew that Asian women were tiny, but this one was the same size as their daughter.

Anyway, Ashiko got on with her work, doing everything they asked of her, very efficiently. They knew that the position was a 'live in' one, and they had got the spare room ready for her. Ashiko settled in happily, and after the first week the family decided to keep her on.

This went on for a month. The family never realised that, inside the maids costume, their fully feminized son, Sam, stared back at them, unable to speak or contact them at all due to the hood he was wearing. Sam was aware of everything that was going on, but completely unable to do anything about it, as the electronics built into the collar round his neck kept him completely in 'maid mode'.

There was another side to Ashiko being with the family. The daughter started taking more notice of Ashiko's outfits, especially her capes and, eventually, was unable to resist trying one on.

The parents had gone out for the evening, and Ashiko was asleep in her room. She had 'accidentally' left her uniform out on a hangar in the hall, having changed just before going to bed after a long day, and the daughter had found it there.

Unable to stop herself, she looked round the house, then took the uniform back to her room. For some reason, she also went down to the hall, and took Ashiko's cape off its hangar, and went up to her room with it.

Back there, she stripped completely, apart from her underwear, then put on Ashiko's uniform. She was surprised that it fitted her perfectly, apart from the fasteners being a bit tight....

Eventually, she was wearing the dress, and she pirouetted in front of the mirror, showing off.

She decided to finish the outfit off, so she pulled on the cape, fastened it, and pulled up the hood.

She loved the outfit, and sat on the end of her bed, enjoying it.

Suddenly, Ashiko came into her room. To the daughter's amazement, Ashiko was wearing her uniform, and her cape. Through a slot in the cape, she handed the daughter a letter...

“I'm glad you like your outfit. I had it made especially for you, before I came here. The fastenings are locking, so you won't be able to undo them, and the fabric doesn't tear, either.  I hope you like your new job...

Ashiko had a small remote control in her hand, and she pressed a button. The daughter twitched as a sharp electrical shock went through her.

Waving the remote, Ashiko pointed at the door. Sobbing, the daughter got up, and went with Ashiko, outside to the waiting car....

The panic-stricken parents never found where their daughter had gone, either. Ashiko, back at the house asleep, hadn't heard anything....

Shortly, a new girl started as a maid in one of the larger houses in the city. The family who employed her had a daughter...

The maid service got very popular with families but, for some reason, the disappearances never seemed to make the news. Also, families with male or no children usually got turned down, or were told that there were no staff available...
