Eve works for American Robotics where she is selected to test drive a robot, Adam, at home.

Eve, Neil, And Adam 

At first, it seemed an enormous imposition when Neil Carlson asked her
to test the lifelike capabilities of Project Adam in a realistic 
setting. "I need this vacation, Neil," she argued. "I'm not going to 
play robo-sitter because perverts that want pre-programmed, bionic sex 
are at the top of your priority list." she exclaimed, "I'm grateful for 
my job, but inflicting this on my week off is going too far!" 

"I know, Eve. I know it's a huge imposition, but that's what makes you
perfect for the job. You are our target audience. You are the 
burned-out, working housewife. You're put upon, expected of, and sick 
and tired of taking care of others. You're in need of some no-strings 
pampering minus the human hassle." 

She rolled her eyes and stated, "I'm not a housewife, Neil." Neil
shrugged, saying suggestively, "I can't help that you're perfect for 
this." 

Eve was defeated. "I can't believe you just used that line on me," she
sighed. 

"Then you'll do it," Neil asked excitedly. 

"Okay, fine! Just fine! Bring it out before I change my mind," she spat,
glaring daggers into Neil's eyes. 

Neil retrieved a miniature remote control from his pocket and flipped a
switch. Project Adam entered the room on two feet, offering, "Hello, 
Eve. It's good to meet you." 

Tearing her glare from Neil, Eve turned her wrath on her new charge,
"Shut it! I haven't decided whether to toss you onto a bonfire or shove 
you off a cliff! Just shut it!" 

Neil clawed the air making angry cat sounds, laughing, "Wow! Kitten has
claws!" 

"And you," Eve returned her anger to Neil, "Shut it before I tie both of
you together and drag you down the interstate from the bumper of my 
car!" 

Neil winked at Adam conspiratorially, whispering, "I'll pray for you,
buddy!" 

Eve snatched the remote from his hands and hit every button and switch
off. Adam crumpled to the floor. 

Eve smiled wickedly, saying, "Pack him up. He's not going to be a
passenger in my car". 

"Fine," Neil snickered. He weighs 245 pounds. Good luck with that." 

She moved to stand unnervingly close to Neil; so close he could feel the
heat emanating from her skin. She placed her face directly in front of 
his, whispering acidly, "You owe me big, and I mean huge!" 

Eve hit the remote again and Adam was instantly restored. Turning on her
stiletto heel, she issued an order without looking up, "Adam, shut it 
and follow me." Neil mouthed silently in Adam's direction, "I'm sorry 
guy! Really!" 

Adam followed dutifully while Neil stood in the office with fingers
crossed, saying a silent prayer. He half expected that Eve would return 
Adam in tiny pieces before the week was over. 

Eve arrived back at her home; a beautiful house in Half Moon Bay right
on the beach. It was far too big for her, but too good an investment to 
pass up. She paused by the window, thinking, This will be a piece of 
cake. The salt-sea air will corrode him, and then I'll be free of 
him. "Hey Adam! It's a beautiful day. Let's go swimming!" Adam 
stood in the bedroom doorway uttering words he was preprogrammed to 
say. She didn't care. She wasn't listening. Eve moved to the dresser 
and retrieved her bikini. Thumbing her blouse buttons, she turned her 
gaze back to Adam, saying, "I know you're a hunk of metal and software,
