But the good news is he's got Sue a surprise to help her live independently, a care provider with a difference - a second hand AnnDroid Z58/100 Basic Eldercare Robot. Created to keep the ageing population company and monitor their health, taking the pressure off the ever-stretched NHS.It's Sue's worst nightmare. An overly attentive, socially inept pain in the arse. But she soon works out she can use the droid to her benefit in settling scores and doing the things her son never gets round to. What develops is a buddy comedy between an older woman and her robot who isn't quite as advanced socially as she is technically.
