LaRosa Family Estate

**The LaRosa Family Estate** is the main setting of the game and located in California.

## Description

The LaRosa Family Estate is adjacent to Great-Aunt Mary's property in Lily's Garden. As she finishes the restoration of the main property, Lily discovers the mansion, its mausoleum, and its gardens which are also part of her inheritance. Unlike the main estate, for which the lawyer and executor was Philip, the executor of this part of the estate is Samir. He and his assistant Whitney help Lily restore the grounds and buildings.

The estate is rumored to be haunted, which excites Whitney a great deal. Lily is initially skeptical but finds herself scared by what looks like a ghost and a ground floor break-in. To regain her calm, she focuses initially on restoring the grounds and the mausoleum.

Over the course of the game, players unlock different sections of the estate and are able to decorate them as they see fit.
