Her room is based in the attic with a sealed window, and a door that locks from the outside. Nina, the mother and wife of the family, shows signs of severe mental illness, and repeatedly puts Millie in double bind situations. Millie learns from neighbors that years prior, Nina attempted to kill her daughter Cecelia (Cece) by drowning her, and attempted to take her own life by overdosing.
