Helinka works as a cleaner in the office reception area by the Costa Coffee stand. Paul proposes hiring her as temporary childcare for Julia's children, citing her on-site availability during work hours as a quick fix to the crisis. Julia rejects the idea outright, insisting a cleaner lacks the cultural fit and maternal qualities needed for her kids' upbringing. This positions Helinka as a dependable building staffer whose everyday role sparks debate over family logistics and class boundaries.
