Right across the street from Jan’s house is a nice little cottage that has been empty for as long as anyone can remember. So many residents didn’t believe the rumours that the SimCity orphanage would open up a local branch there. They were wrong. 

Meet Karen Gast, the local warden, and her two wards, Marsha Bruenig and Orlando Bertino. Karen works as a teacher while the kids are in school, in order to earn a little pocket change. It’s fine with the higher-ups.

Chloe, the little social butterfly she is, has brought another kid home with her. With the buzz that Jan’s decision to become a politician created, more and more Sims notice the little, almost forgotten town. Just like the SimCity orphanage, which decided to open up a branch in Middleground, meaning that Orlando and little Marsha have finally found a home (gosh, I was so tired of them being townies, especially since they made friends with everybody. Also, it means that I can get Orlando out of the red aspiration which will hopefully stop him from beating up everybody).
