&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;A full-length mirror stood next to the door for the mistress’s large closet. A closer look showed it to be covered with dust and smudges. Ava retrieved a bottle of glass cleaner and a rag from her caddy of cleaning supplies. Catching her reflection, she noticed her headdress was slightly askew and paused to straighten it. Looking herself up and down she checked the rest of her uniform, stealing a moment of pride at her own appearance.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Boomerang Maidbot</title><link>/stories/2026/01/18/boomerang-maidbot/</link><pubDate>Sun, 18 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2026/01/18/boomerang-maidbot/</guid><description>&lt;h3 id="3-securing-ava"&gt;3: Securing Ava&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ava quietly opened the door to Cassandra’s bedroom to deliver coffee, just as she did every morning. Usually the maidbot found her mistress still in bed, but on this day she was up early. Thus it was that she was wearing panties and nothing else when Ava entered. A few weeks ago, she would have been terribly embarrassed about her maidbot, which was really her son Spencer, witnessing her in this state.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Boomerang Maidbot</title><link>/stories/2025/04/06/boomerang-maidbot/</link><pubDate>Sun, 06 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2025/04/06/boomerang-maidbot/</guid><description>&lt;h3 id="2-improving-ava"&gt;2: Improving Ava&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Hello Spencer, just wanted to see how you&amp;rsquo;re doing in there.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Much to Cassandra’s confusion, it was maidbot Ava’s gentle voice that replied. “I am doing very well, mistress.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“I’m not your mistress right now, I’m your mother.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Does not compute, maidbots do not have mothers.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Cassandra looked at her phone again, which confirmed the collar was deactivated. Was this some sort of malfunction?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Finally, the maid’s neutral expression turned to a smirk, and a familiar male voice spoke. “Got you, Mom.”&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Boomerang Maidbot</title><link>/stories/2025/02/15/boomerang-maidbot/</link><pubDate>Sat, 15 Feb 2025 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2025/02/15/boomerang-maidbot/</guid><description>&lt;h3 id="1-filling-in"&gt;1: Filling In&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“What is it this time, Spencer? Do you need more money?” Cassandra asked impatiently.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“No Mom, I&amp;rsquo;m afraid it&amp;rsquo;s a bit worse than that, I was let go from my job&amp;hellip;”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She let out a deep sigh. “That&amp;rsquo;s very disappointing. I pulled strings to get you that job, so when it doesn&amp;rsquo;t work out that makes &lt;em&gt;me&lt;/em&gt; look bad.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Yes, well, and the timing was unfortunate. I was already struggling with rent since Betty broke up with me and moved out, and now the landlord won&amp;rsquo;t renew me without proof of income. I was hoping maybe you would co-sign a new lease?”&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
