From idle watching of birds in the sky to being comforted with a few more precious minutes in the playground, Johnathan ‪@JohnathanChuaa‬ has always associated those fondest years growing up with Auntie Zen, his childhood domestic helper. Those years were unfortunately shortlived due to a family crisis that forced Auntie Zen to return home when Johnathan was 7 years old.

26 years later, Johnathan and his sister, Nikki decide to relive those memories by paying Auntie Zen a surprise visit in her hometown Guinobatan, Philippines to catch up on those lost years and thank her for the impact she has made in their lives that still lives on till this day.
