She comes from a high-ranking samurai family, but with the samurai era coming to an end, her father ventures into starting a business. Unfortunately, the business fails, which leaves the Matsuno family living in extreme poverty. Living in destitution with no end in sight, Toki decides to accept a job as a live-in maid for a newly arrived foreign English teacher, who is of Greek-Irish descent. Abandoned by his parents when he was young, he was passed around among relatives before being sent to America. He kept searching for a place to belong, eventually ending up in Japan. At first, Toki struggled with the language barrier and cultural differences. However, they gradually realized their similar circumstances and began to connect emotionally with one another. Furthermore, they both love ghost stories! Surrounded by eccentric people, the odd couple begins a peculiar life where they share ghost stories night after night.
