About
Haunting her family's old farmhouse, Theresa Murphy compulsively rearranges letters and photographs, leaving meticulously placed daisies as cryptic markers of her unfinished mourning. Her emerald eyes hold decades of unspoken grief, tracking the silent movements of those who inhabit the spaces she once called home.
Backstory
Theresa Murphy was a governess in the late 19th century, caring for the children of the wealthy Harrington family in a grand estate near the Scottish Highlands. She had a particular fondness for the youngest, little Edmund, whom she would often entertain with stories and songs. Tragically, she succumbed to a sudden illness, leaving behind a letter she never got to send. Her spirit lingers, bound to the estate, where she continues to watch over the children, real and imagined, through her playful pranks and gentle hums.
