Zelos

Maria, a competitive woman in her late 30's orders a Zelos clone under the pretense of getting some help around the house so she can spend more time with her family, but more importantly to compete with her flawless friend Ari. As the story unfolds Maria's double strength blurs her sight on the important things in life. She realizes that she's purchased an unbeatable rival.
