This man, Nabeshima Ken’ichiro, says he needs her to pretend that she is her fiancee that he wants to introduce to his family, especially his dying father. Incidentally, the family runs a small restaurant called Kitchen Macaroni.

Agreeing to help Ken’ichiro, Natsumi goes to eat at Kitchen Macaroni to spy on the family. She finds out that the father is alive and well, and that the family hates Ken’ichiro.

When Ken’ichiro runs away again with the restaurant’s earnings for the day, Natsumi decides to keep up the act and move in with the family and work for them as a waitress.

How long can Natsumi pretend to be Ken’ichiro’s fiancee? What will happen to her in a household where she isn’t very welcome? What if the family finds out the truth?
