When one of the ladies, Conchita Clossen (Boe), marries Lord Richard Marable (Josh Dylan), it prompts the others' families to want the same for their daughters. As a result, the ladies relocate to London, with some of the women looking to marry into British high society to fulfill their social (and personal) life goals.

Totah portrays Mabel Elmsworth in the series. She and Nan St. George (Froseth), the series protagonist, are hesitant to find suitors as their families wish they would. While being forced to spend time with elderly matchmaking women in London, Totah’s character strikes up a romance with a woman named Honoria Marable (Mia Threapleton).
