The story revolves around two mothers, Rosa and Linda, both facing challenges with balancing their personal lives and parenting. Rosa buys a new TV to help manage work-from-home tasks and entertain her daughter, Selena, but she misses key milestones like Selena's first steps and words due to her busy schedule. Linda, on the other hand, was trying to enjoy some me-time after a week without a TV, only to neglect her daughter, who then leaves to stay with her father.

Both women, feeling guilty and overwhelmed, meet a therapist, Dr. McGee, who shares her own tragic story. She explains that she lost her daughter, Emily, at a young age and regrets not spending enough time with her due to being consumed by work. Dr. McGee’s emotional story serves as a wake-up call for both Rosa and Linda, reminding them that family time is precious and irreplaceable.

Rosa decides to start working part-time to focus on her daughter, while Linda realizes the importance of paying attention to her child’s needs. The story highlights the theme that material possessions, like TVs, cannot solve deeper emotional or relational issues, and that prioritizing family time is key to a fulfilling life. Both mothers resolve to spend more time with their children and find balance between work, personal goals, and family responsibilities.
