Answer:

(Here is a sample answer for the narrative)

Hello, my name is Mary. I work for Odysseus since I was little. And I wear a maid outfit and I basically slave around here. The Odysseus house is big and there's a lot of stuff. And I have to stay loyal to my boss, her name is Athena. But one day I had to tell on Penelope, because she was doing her job wrong. I had no other choice. Every night, she weaves a shroud and says she'll choose a suitor when it's done. But every morning, she secretly unravels her work. The suitors are getting impatient. I thought if I told them, they'd be grateful and maybe my life would get better. I was tired of being a low - status maid, and I hoped for some reward. So I told them her secret. I know I betrayed her, but I did what I thought I had to for my own gain.
