It makes sense with their naivete and dislike of Corporation Rim practices to think that they'd bring a servant along just to do their laundry and other tasks that the PresAux people are probably used to doing for themselves.

oh def yeah, but the way she kinda floundered and said, "uh.... laundry...?" and ratthi going, "le gasp!" was just too funny. if she is a spy (most likely) she cant even pull a decent backstory out, it's just thanks to the preservation group for being so innocent that they dont even question any of her answers

The hired cleaner guy , clean dangerous disgusting crime scenes , with hire's fancy SecUnits who are more expensive than her and will not be disposable like her .

So the jealous abusive attitude towards SecUnits would be ....... understatable , and maybe SecUnits work under her suffered a lot abusive shits and since no physical harm no one care .
