Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess

Lena added, "Mom, just look at her, sneaking around and stealing when I'm not in the room. We should call the cops."

Hattie interjected, "Could there be some kind of misunderstanding? Annika seems honest and trustworthy, not the type to do such a thing."

And to be honest, Annika's cooking was to die for! Hattie absolutely adored the meals Annika prepared.

Annika pleaded, "Ma'am, I swear I didn't take the necklace. I have no idea what's going on here. Did the necklace sprout legs and walk over here by itself?"

Regina scoffed, "Annika, what nonsense are you spouting? Necklaces growing legs? Who do you think you're fooling? Don't think just because Ms. Josefina's got your back that you can do whatever you please!"

That was when Josefina returned. "Regina, seems like you've got your own cheerleader," she said.

Josefina came back with Oliver in tow, and Annika's spirits lifted for a moment, then settled back down to her usual composure. "Ms. Josefina," Annika explained, "Regina claims I stole Miss Lena's diamond necklace, but I didn't. I said I have proof, but Regina doesn't believe me, and she won't let me present it."

When Hattie and Garrett got home from work, they walked right into the heated argument. Annika was insistent, calling for Josefina to come back, adamant not to bring shame upon Ms. Josefina. Josefina entered, standing by Annika's side. Her gaze was fixed on Regina as she pointed at the diamond necklace on the table. "You keep saying Annika stole the necklace. What proof do you have? Did you see it with your own eyes?"
