# 8 Yaya ni Lily
Author: rice_cooker
Location: the United States
Summary: Youngish, separated from husband she describes as mama’s boy, and from her daughter Nene. The husband has “filed for infidelity”, according to Lily. (The correct term is “adultery”.) Yaya has the hots for her employer’s older son. She loathes little Lily, who is vicious. Yaya’s goal is to find a boyfriend who will finance her lawsuit for custody of Nene.
# 10 Yaya ni Madame Tsui
Author: thesocialinception
Location: Hong Kong
Summary: Madame Tsui insists that she learn Chinese, so Yaya goes to a bookstore to buy a dictionary. She is said to be well-read, so we cannot understand how someone who’s finished Anna Karenina and Tess of the D’Urbervilles does not know who Mao Zedong is. She finds her employer repellent and does not know why she puts up with her.
# 11 Yaya ni Baptiste at Margot
Author: theOrbiter
Location: Paris
Summary: Yaya’s employer and charges are rather cruel and given to laughing at her. When she takes a day off, Madame disparages her and her lack of French. Yaya is looking forward to her date with Marlon, a Filipino cashier at a souvenir shop, but she resolves not to put out.
# 12 Julie Recuerdo
Author: cochise_miz
Location: the US
Summary: Julie is in her 20s or early 30s. She supports her parents in Manila and sends her younger brother to a private high school. She is fond of her alaga, Hannah.
# 13 Imogen Dimaculangan
Author: Askaniclan
Location: Dongguan, China
Summary: Imogen, 35, is feisty: her hunchback and wobbly eye do not dent her confidence. She likes her life and has designs on her male employer. Her speech is supposed to approximate a Leyte native speaking English.
The winner of LitWit Challenge 5.5: Yeah, yeah, Yaya is theOrbiter. Of the five candidates we found her Yaya to be the most life-like.
