Sitcom hinging on a young Asian woman's desire to be all these things and more - to keep her mum and dad happy by allowing her to believe that she and her boyfriend don't live together, and to keep her boyfriend happy by getting a job and contributing to the rent. Like many women of her background and age, Amna wants to have her differences acknowledged, but to be treated the same as everyone else. From work to love to family to social media, Amna walks a tightrope of identity.
