Annie Bot is a pleasure robot. She is owned by Doug. She is allowed to think for herself in some ways while being completely under his control in others. She can have conversations but is not allowed to say anything about Doug. She can do what she wants during the day as long as she is working out and cleaning the house. Doug has a way of saying things that make her know he's not happy with her, but not sure why. 

It's clear to the reader that he is emotionally abusive but she's just a bot so nobody cares how she feels. They don't even really believe that she does feel. 

Annie is the most advanced bot on the market and they want to replicate her. Annie feels empathy for the other versions of herself knowing they will never truly be free either. Another thing they don't believe she can do. 

This was such an interesting look at the way people would treat a woman if they had no say in what happened. From continuously being the pleasure bot, to cleaning the house just the way he wants, and working out. She can also be adjusted to remove weight, have bigger boobs, etc. It's the way she's never really good enough even though he can make her do whatever he wants. She knows he's never happy and tries so hard to please him, but it's never enough.
