It's a little small to do the laundry. It's a ... spirit child. Or something similar, I've yet to encounter another this small.

Do you remember the wailing out in the woods? It was some sort of mandrake spirit, shrieked if you scared it. I managed to calm it down and it ... lives in a flowerpot outside my door now.
