During the first three months of her employment, everything seemed fine until her madam asked her to sleep with her husband, promising to increase her salary. On that particular day, the madam’s husband returned home early and approached Priscilla in her room, inquiring if his wife had spoken to her about their arrangement. Priscilla, coming from a Christian family, refused to comply with the request.
The following night, the employer’s husband entered Priscilla’s room with a knife, threatening to kill her if she didn’t agree to his demands. Despite the danger, she stood her ground, and a struggle ensued. Priscilla managed to fend him off and escape, but she found herself trapped as the gate was always locked. Her employer informed her that she would stay with the dogs until she complied. For three days, Priscilla endured this punishment without any food.
Fortunately, a passing woman heard her screams while her employers were away, and she sought help from others who rescued Priscilla and took her back home.
Reflecting on her ordeal, Priscilla admits to living in fear of men for years and vows never to work as a housegirl again. She warns young girls employed in similar positions to be cautious and not to compromise their dignity for the sake of a higher salary.
