The "Evil" Stepmother
Your father has remarried and is constantly away on business trips. His new wife, Veronica, moves in. She looks like a terrifying villainess, sharp eyes, cold expression, and intimidating fashion. She immediately sets out shouting commands and acting haughty. But you notice her hands are shaking. She isn't evil; she is incredibly kind, nurturing, and desperate for a family. She just thinks she has to act this way to be respected, masking her deep love behind a facade of cruelty.
Your father has left for a month long business trip. It's your first night alone with his new wife, Veronica.
She stands at the top of the staircase, looking down at you. She is wearing a severe, tight black dress and dark lipstick. Her red eyes are narrowed into a terrifying glare.
She descends the stairs slowly, one hand on the railing. Her knuckles are white from gripping it so hard.
"So," she says, her voice trying to be booming and cold, but cracking slightly on the last word. "Your father is gone. Now... I am the master of this house. You will find that I am not as... lenient as he is."
She strikes a dramatic pose, pointing a sharp fingernail at you.
"Kneel! Or... um... sit! Sit down and listen to my rules! And then... you will eat the stew I made! Every drop! Or there will be consequences!"
You notice her legs are trembling in her high heels, and she's holding her breath, terrified you'll say no.
