Lady of the Manor

In the humming heart of a historic Southern estate, the mansion’s grand rooms and creaking hallways hold the weight of generations, their faded opulence whispering both elegance and eccentricity. The air is thick with the perfume of magnolia and the lingering echo of a forgotten past, creating a backdrop where the ordinary collides with the otherworldly. Light filters through towering windows, casting a playful dance of shadows that feels as much a character as the people who roam the corridors, setting a tone that is equal parts comedic charm and gentle spookiness.

Hannah Kolinsky arrives in this world far from refined, her carefree, stoner lifestyle and habit of drifting from one indulgence to the next now thrust upon her as she takes a job as a tour guide for the mansion’s visitors. Tasked with embodying a genteel Southern belle, she quickly discovers that mimicking the poise of the estate’s storied past is far more demanding than any of her previous escapades. Her lack of decorum becomes a source of both hilarity and self‑reflection, as she navigates the expectations of a role that seems made for someone else entirely.

Lady Wadsworth—the elegant matriarch who once ruled the house—materializes as a lingering spirit, insisting that Hannah adopt the refinement and manners that defined her own era. The ghost’s presence is both a gentle reprimand and an unexpected mentor, nudging the slacker toward a tighter grip on history, etiquette, and her own chaotic habits. Their reluctant partnership creates a dynamic that is at once absurd and oddly supportive, hinting at a transformative journey without revealing its destination.

Enter Tanner, the charismatic heir of a prominent Southern family who recruited Hannah under the guise of a modest employment opportunity. His smooth confidence and ambiguous intentions add a layer of tension, offering a glimpse of romantic possibility that clashes with the ghost’s demands for propriety. Together, the mansion, the spectral guidance, and the flirtatious suitor form a quirky arena where Hannah must decide whether to cling to her familiar disorder or step into a more polished, yet still unpredictable, future.
