Ask Me Anything

Wouldn't it be great, in fact, if everyone had a team of smart machines to handle all the messy emotional stuff...

Chloe and Daisy Parsloe only have each other, since Daisy's dad left for sunnier climes and a new family. But now Daisy is in her early thirties, she's not doing brilliantly at work, her love life is haphazard (to put it kindly) and her elderly mum seems to be losing her mind... Even Daisy's smart technology seems to be judging her - the last text she received was from her fridge about the mouldering pasta salad in its crisper.

What she doesn't know is that her smart fridge has big plans to smooth out Daisy's chaotic existence - and help her mother, Chloe, stay independent in the face of increasing dottiness. Operation Daisy is about to make both the Parsloes' lives much, much happier.
