Extended summary:

Ersi is a very tidy little girl. Every day she neatly folds up her yesterdays and irons her tomorrows, she hangs all the praise she’s gotten from her teachers on the wall and keeps her fears and insecurities in the attic or sweeps them under the rug. She has a lot of chores to do and a schedule that she follows come rain or sunshine. Not even playing can distract her from it, not even fun.

But still, despite her careful scheduling there’s so much work to be done! She hasn’t aired her dreams in ages, and she always forgets to dust her ideas that are scattered around the house like so many ornaments. It’s simply too much work for one little girl to do.

Luckily Ersi won’t have to do it all alone!

Maid Chaos has arrived to clear things up once and for all. Soon Ersi’s life is turned upside down, and everything is, in a word, Chaos. But Chaos doesn’t have to be a bad thing. In fact, according to Maid Chaos that is the way things are meant to be. And maybe, just maybe, Maid Chaos is right.
