### Season 1

#### Tiny Terror: Manners

Rose made her debut in Book 20. As Candy JEM went to Mia's house after school, Lillie introduced Rose to them and Rose complimented on Mia's dainty appearance. After Candy JEM went to Mia's room, Rose complimented on how obedient Mia is and Lillie accepted her compliment gleefully. She told Lillie that she was rather unsuccessful in parenting than her while revealing that she is already a mother to two children. Rose sighed and told Lillie about her two children who are not as obedient as Mia, especially her daughter as she was diagnosed with congenital heart disease not long after she was born and eventually recovered after a surgery. Rose and her husband doted on their daughter too much until she became spoilt. When Rose was about to leave Mia's house, she patted on Mia's head while voicing her wishes of her children being as obedient and mature as Mia. Rose asked Mia whether she was interested in becoming her children's tutor and she allowed her to discuss with her mother first before making a decision and that she would not force her.

On another day Candy JEM went to Rose's house she welcomed them and she called her daughter to come down to meet them. Rose introduced her daughter, Sera to Candy JEM before preparing to go for work. As Sera tugged onto Rose's skirt, she promised her daughter to buy anything she wanted after work before waving goodbye to Sera and Candy JEM.

Later when Sera stole Mia's butterfly hair tie, Joni and Emilia went to Charles' house and Rose welcomed the two girls while telling them that she was about to go to work but she was worried about Sera staying at home alone since Charles was not at home at the time being. Emilia reassured Rose that Mia would be coming later to meet up with them and a relieved Rose went out for work happily.

#### The Hero's Quest: Self-Improvement

Rose was seen in Charles' flashback while he exclaimed that he wanted to be a pilot in the future and take her to travel around the world. She then praised him and said that being a pilot was not an easy job, he has to study very hard in order to achieve his dreams.

#### Banding Against Bullies: Anti-bullying

Rose was seen serving tea to Lillie who came to visit her house and she told Lillie that she was so busy with her job that she did not manage to invite Lillie to her house. When Charles ran over the two mothers, Rose asked Charles what was he doing and whether he needed help from her, he declined and told them to continue chatting. Lillie then praised Charles for being a hardworking and polite boy, while Rose declined by saying that he does not behave like this usually.

#### Family Ever After: Filial Piety

Charles snuck up to Rose's bedroom when his mother was talking to his father and took a RM100 banknote from her purse. Rose then found out that one of the RM100 banknote in her purse was gone and she poured the purse to reveal a RM100 banknote folded into a heart, which drew her curiosity.

On the actual day of the Filial Piety Month, Rose asked Charles about his drawing and Michael yelled that the drawing was insignificant to him while exchanging glares with his son and Rose attempted to pacify her husband. As Michael used a marker pen to scribble on Charles' drawing with Charles ranting with his father, Rose showed a speechless look behind them.

#### The Best Policy: Honesty

Rose was heard in a telephone conversation with Michael about fixing the bathroom's door and after Michael picked up the call, he wanted to hear her saying "you are my wife" which dismayed Rose. Rose then asked Michael about fixing the bathroom door which was mentioned the day before yesterday and when she opened the door, it was not fixed. Michael told her that he was about to buy the materials needed to fix the door and Rose, realizing that she had misunderstood her husband, apologized to him.
