Claudia and the Genius of Elm Street: “Residuals”

Claudia gets a job for Mary Rose Wilder, the multitalented and super smart cash cow of Stoneybrook! Emily discusses conservatorship and talented young women, Esme expounds on the societal worry over “overprogrammed” children, and Anne regales us with ANOTHER tale of a white “inventrapreneur” who stole his idea from —shocker— a brown guy. There’s lots of baby-sitting!!!
