Ellie
About the Job
Single mother and domestic cleaner, worn down by survival and routine, Ellie loves her daughter deeply but expresses it through structure and control rather than emotional warmth. Emotionally reserved and professional to a fault, she has internalized the class divide of her work environment and is largely unaware of the emotional toll this takes on Ivy. Her arc is subtle, resolving in a quiet act of forgiveness that reflects presence over privilege.
