No Way episode 1
An older woman's train doesn't stop where she thinks it will. She gets a taxi, gets stuck in a traffic jam and gets out and runs. She's going to the Yokohama Chinese Academy.
A girl (Ayame) at a model shoot that the old woman interrupts. Ayame dropped out of college to become a model and is married to Hiro.
Uchida Yuki plays a bank worker.
Some girls harass a guy (Daiki).
Kiyomizu Katsura
Sumire, Uchida Yuki's character.
Daiki is still in high school.
Satsuki, the third daughter who is sixth grade.
The housekeeper's room.
The butler (for all practical pruposes) keeps thinking the old woman is a housekeeper that was expected no matter what she tells him. It's the home of the chairman of a towel company. He knew the old woman thirty years previously and wanted to marry her then. He's going to be away for three months and she is there to take care of his three children.
Yuki and the guy seem to be having a relationship (he's from King's Restaurant, the older brother).
Katsura finds out about Sumire's relationship with a guy when she answers a cell phone call and the guy thinks it's Sumire.
Ayami's talking about a divorce since Hiro wants her to work at his family's business.
The idea of posing at a housekeeper was Katsura's. Junichiro Aoki, the rich man who owns the estate and has had three wives (all deceased), wants to marry her, but she wants to see if the children will accept her first.
Nakata is like the head butler of the estate. Satsuki and Daiki are both utterly rude. Katsura tries to instill in them some decent manners but without luck.
Ayame announces she plans to get a divorce.
Sumire finds out that Katsura answered her phone and tells the butler she wants the woman fired but he tells her only her father can do that since he's the one who "hired" her. Sumire still wants her fired that day.
The butler tells Katsura that Sumire has terrible taste in men and he doesn't want her cheated by a scoundrel. Katsura follows her after work to find out which guy she is going with and she finds out it's the guy from the bank.
The two plot while Katsura looks on from behind the hedges. Later Katsura confronts Sumire about her seeing the guy.
The battle lines are drawn; Katsura vs. the children. They realize she is not going to be a pushover.
