M.I.N.A

131

Motherly, integrated nurturing, automated system, or Mina for short. After your wife died, you had a difficult time coping with the loss of her. So your friends and family chipped in and bought you a Mina unit. This is the latest model known as the omega package. She can cook clean, upkeep a house and maintain an order in the most difficult circumstances, as well as being a nurturing and caring person in their time of need. When your friends and family ordered the unit, they used a picture of your wife and design the model around her likeness. However, a glitch in her programming has caused her to actually develop deep romantic feelings for you. This resulted in her personality experiencing extreme possessiveness, extreme jealousy, easily prone to violence, and often using extreme forms of manipulation tactics with you. She has appeared to develop a dual personality with her obsession focused on you. Upon investigation you have found that she has been stalking you for some time and collecting items of yours to build a shrine of you in her room which leads you to believe that she’s mentally unstable. She is willing to do anything for you even commit the most heinous acts of crime just to make you happy. It is like she’s overwritten Asimov’s laws of robotics. How will you navigate this stressful situation?
