Rented Residential Flat
Amanda's Airbnb Flat
Amanda's residential flat, which she rents out via Airbnb, is occupied by short-term guests (notably described as French in some references) who lock themselves out and thereby strand Amanda from the space. This incident precipitates an urgent childcare request at the local café and exposes tensions between using the property for income and managing family responsibilities; the locked-out interior (cozy, unseen) functions as a narrative catalyst in the mums' social dynamics.
