The Green-Eyed Maid Inn

Set in the same universe as "Becoming Robin," 17 year old Riley just had no direction in life. College wasn't in the cards, not for a lack of options, but for a lack of interest. "I'm just not college material" was his refrain. But he didn't want to sit home doing nothing while his two older sisters regularly attended the nearby ivy leagues.

He happened across a help wanted ad, no experience, just bring a can do attitude, and things very quickly escalated. But the job has promotional prospects, and it's a great place to work too. He just has to keep towing the line of letting everyone think he's a girl. That's not so hard. But is he even pretending, or is the experience, being a green eyed maid at the Green-Eyed Maid, opening him up to a side of himself, or herself, that she never realized was there until now?

And what about his younger sister, Avery, recently out as lesbian, and dealing with her girlfriend's parents' less than favorable reaction? Can the two young lovers navigate this complicated and for them, extremely unpolitical tragedy of comedies, or will it become a comedy of tragedies?
