Everything seems to be going perfectly until Rachel is suddenly struck by an illness and passes away soon after. Aidan and Chloe are shocked. How will they move on without Rachel?
一切看似發展得很順利,直到瑞秋突然得到一種疾病,並且不久後就過世了。艾登跟克羅伊很震驚。沒有瑞秋後他們要如何過接下來的日子呢?
Luckily, Rachel had planned ahead. Because of her family’s medical history, she knew her life could be short. So, she secretly created a high-tech robot version of herself, which is called iRachel.
幸運地是,瑞秋早已事先計劃好了。因為她的家族病史,她知道她的生命可能會很短暫。所以,她偷偷地創造了一個高科技機器人版本的自己,叫做 iRachel。
Rachel wanted the robot to help Aidan and Chloe get through the period following her death. She uploaded all of her memories to iRachel, and gave the robot messages for her husband and daughter. iRachel moves in with Aidan and Chloe and tries to learn how to become more human, but it’s not easy at all!
瑞秋想要這個機器人幫助艾登和克羅伊度過她去世後的這段時期。她上傳她所有的記憶到 iRachel 上,並留了要給她丈夫跟女兒的訊息給這個機器人。iRachel 搬進去跟艾登還有克羅伊住,並且試著學習如何變得更像人類,但這一點都不容易!
