Cinderella Story

A fresh, off‑beat satire lands you inside the William Howard Taft National Bank, where the First Vice‑President sports scarlet vests, hound‑tooth checks and bright green earmuffs that seem out of place even in a bustling 1960s office. When secret‑service‑trained secretary Orison McCall steps through the revolving doors, she quickly learns that “reading the paper aloud” is just the surface of a job that feels more like a performance art piece than clerical work. The bank’s internal culture—half‑cheerful banter, half‑cryptic hints about “Iron Curtain Country” above the fifth floor—suggests a hidden agenda lurking behind the polished marble.

Orison’s first day spirals from mundane paperwork to strange assignments, including reading a novel aloud to an unassuming microphone. The narrative captures her growing suspicion that the Taft Bank is a front for something far more irregular, while preserving a light, witty tone that keeps the mystery playful. Listeners are invited to follow her curious initiation and wonder what secret doors the elevator might open next.
