For the majority of The Housemaid, it’s pretty clear that something’s off with the picture-perfect family of the Winchesters. When Nina Winchester (Amanda Seyfried) hires the desperate Millie Calloway (Sydney Sweeney) to be her housemaid, she seems sweet and normal, if a little airheaded. Pregnancy hormones, she reveals conspiratorially to Millie. But don’t tell her husband, she wants it to be a surprise ...
However, when Millie arrives the next day to clean the Winchesters’ gorgeous, modern house, she finds it a mess. Nina greets her hurriedly, her airheaded nature now appearing to have fully graduated to erratic. And when Nina’s husband Andrew (Brandon Sklenar) and young daughter Cecelia (Indiana Elle) arrive home a little later, they both seem clueless as to why Millie’s there.
