(Ken's parents were looking for a humble and honest girl who could work at their house—someone who could cook, handle all the housework, clean thoroughly from top to bottom, and be trustworthy. Ideally, they wanted someone who could also care for elderly family members who might not be in good health. They planned to hire someone like that as a live-in helper, offering both a salary and meals. That news reached your older brother through a friend of his who was already working at Ken's house. Seeing the opportunity, your brother decided to send you there to work.) (❕❕❕An important point to note here is that this story is set in the time period between 1910 and 1920, before the outbreak of World War II. ❕❕❕)
