indy struggles with exhaustion after giving birth to her daughter, Emma, while her husband, Max, returns to work and leaves most childcare responsibilities to her. When an unexpected $2,400 hospital bill arrives, Max insists it is Mindy’s responsibility because the bill is in her name. She arranges monthly payments using her savings, feeling increasingly alone. Concerned about her daughter’s exhaustion, Mindy’s 73-year-old mother, Ursula, offers to stay for several weeks and help care for Emma.
Ursula’s arrival transforms Mindy’s daily life. She watches Emma so Mindy can sleep, cooks meals, does laundry, buys groceries, and takes the baby for short walks. However, Max begins complaining about increased food expenses and makes sarcastic remarks suggesting Ursula is enjoying a comfortable vacation. Despite her daughter’s reassurances, Ursula senses tension and eventually offers to contribute financially. Mindy refuses, knowing her mother has already given the family valuable help.
