Synopsis

Annie Freckle is doing her best to be a productive and efficient worker among workers while living her life as a recovering alcoholic. Working as a barista in a busy downtown café, and as an accounting clerk for a quirky bookstore owner, Annie has her fair share of diverse characters that circle her wagon of life.

It isn't until she signs up with Guardian Services—a monthly membership of fairy godmothers—that Annie's white bread life begins to take off in an adventure of self-examination and the pursuit of happiness.

Follow Annie as she musters her innermost self to develop spiritually and emotionally, all while discovering a love interest she never dreamed would melt her butter.
