Aisha is a seemingly ordinary teenager who's close to graduating from high school, dating a boy, partying with her friends and the normal teenage things. While drunk at a party though, she injures herself and discovers her dark secret-she's an android.
Before she knows it, Aisha is on the run from her creator and the company which owns her technology, who want to control or shut her down. As everything she ever knew is thrown into question, Aisha has to fight for survival and her freedom while still grappling with the revelation of her identity.
!Examples:
* AbusiveParents: Sharon and Martin, who are Aisha's parents in different senses (he emotionally, plus “adopting” her basically, while she created Aisha), also manipulated and lied to her over her whole life. Neither told her she's an android, secretly monitored her, made up a fake past (including a dead mom) and showed no signs of ending this. She's naturally very hostile to both of them upon learning about her true past and nature. However, they really do love her and make up for their past treatment by doing all they can to protect Aisha from the robotics company which owns her technology, who want her shut down.
* AndTheAdventureContinues: [[spoiler:At the end, Aisha's been restored from backup and a full body replacement is being made for her safely in China, outside of her manufacturer's control, where she's hopefully safe and free to create the life she wishes.]]
* AndroidsArePeopleToo: Aisha and her loved ones strongly advocate her personhood, against the company who made her technology which sees her as {{just a machine}} they want shut down.
* BigBrotherIsWatchingYou: Aisha learns her creator Sharon is always monitoring her with various surveillance mechanisms, supposedly for her own benefit.
* {{Blackmail}}: In order to stop her memory wipes, Aisha blackmails Sharon, her creator, by threatening to blow the lid on her status as a secret human-passing android using a video which would go live if she doesn't log in every three minutes and stop it.
* BrainUploading: Aisha's memory and personality are twice saved using other android brains, so that they can be restored from this backup later.
