About Cassandra

Since its owners perished under mysterious circumstances over 50 years ago, Germany's oldest smart home has remained empty. In the present day, as Samira and her family move in, the electronic household helper Cassandra awakens from her decades-long slumber. Developed in the 1970s to care for a family, she has remained out of commission since the deaths of the house's former residents. Now, Cassandra senses a second chance, one where she can be something more than a happy helper putting everything in its place. Cassandra sees herself as an equal member of the family, one with a single mission: to use every single resource at her disposal to ensure she is never left alone again.
