When she arrived, her younger sister and nanny were still awake, sewing late into the night.

According to her, she had earlier suggested that her workers sleep in the sitting room before heading home in the morning.

However, events took an unexpected turn.

She explained

“The guy left, but I persuaded my girl to stay back; it’s not safe for a girl to be walking the road at night."

By 6 a.m., the nanny eventually left the sitting room, while Queen Mercy’s sister and another staff member remained awake, still sewing.

She added:
