After being kicked out of my home, my only two options are death or moving in with a kindly stranger. Why? Because I'm a robot, and there isn't public infrastructure for us yet, of course, and if I go for too long without charge who knows what'll happen to me. Lucia, my new roommate, is at least pretty kind - and she's an engineer/inventor too. It's just... awkward, given that I used to want some semi-questionable augments for my body, and she'd totally give them to me if I asked...
