Millie, who lives with her mother and siblings in their village, faces the dilemma of how to handle the situation without harming her family's unity. Her father works away from home and rents an apartment, returning only on weekends. Millie stumbled upon this affair when her father gave her his smartphone after she finished secondary school. She found evidence of the affair, including photos, videos, conversations, and financial transactions with the 'side chick.' Despite her mother's loyalty and open approach, Millie hasn't revealed the truth to her to avoid hurting her due to health issues. She's seeking guidance on how to save her parents' marriage and protect her mother's well-being.
