Animating Maria

Amy and Effie Tribble, impoverished spinster sisters, turn to offering their services as professional chaperones to refine difficult daughters for marriage, embarking on a London season with each client. Their latest project, Maria Kendall, appears to be a perfect candidate—beautiful and well-mannered—yet their task becomes more complex when they encounter her overbearing parents. This Regency-era story follows the sisters' efforts to navigate social expectations and family dynamics while preparing young women for their future.
