Thony De La Rosa, the woman at the center of Fox’s The Cleaning Lady, is excellent with a sponge and rag — but she appears to be creating a mess of her own that all the paper towels in Las Vegas won’t wipe away.During Monday’s series premiere of the freshman drama, which is adapted from the 2017 Argentinian series La chica que limpia, we’re introduced to Thony (Daredevil‘s Elodie Yung) and her sister-in-law Fiona (As the World Turns‘ Martha Millan), both undocumented immigrants who work on the clean-up staffs for various nightlife events in Vegas.

Thony’s 5-year-old son, Luca, has a rare immunodeficiency and is still seeking treatment after his initial bone marrow donor backed out months ago, leading Thony to remain in the States illegally as she tries to find helpful medical care for the boy. (Thony was also a doctor back in the Philippines, and her skills still prove useful when, say, Fiona punches her skeezy Las Vegas boss in the throat, and Thony has to quickly use a knife and straw to get the guy breathing again.)
Early on in Episode 1, Thony is working another night shift, cleaning the bathrooms in a dimly lit building where an underground fight is taking place between two women. Some intimidating and important-looking men, who we’ll later learn are members of a crime syndicate, attend the fight, but when the brawl ends with a different woman winning than the men had anticipated, one of the men later shoots the fight organizer in the chest, killing him instantly. Thony sees the murder go down from around a nearby corner, but she tries to stay hidden… until her cell phone rings, and the men find her.
