Suburban Family Home

Anne's House

Anne's house serves as a nearby family residence amid the local cafe's childcare scramble. Amanda asks Anne to take Manus and Georgie there, but Anne declines because her husband Chris is home, guarding their private domestic space. Kids chatter nearby while adults negotiate; the home evokes a cozy suburban haven with everyday routines that bar unexpected guests, heightening the pressure on improvised solutions.
