She takes care of the house while her husband actively works in an advertising agency with her boss and friend, Alfred.

However Jean Pierre had a big surprise on the wedding day: Samantha admitted to him to be a witch. The daily then becomes strangely offbeat for Jean Pierre: for having convinced his wife not to use his powers, Jean Pierre will attract the wrath and the spells thrown by his mother-in-law, the Endora rattler ...

Please note, Audimat obliges, the moral and bourgeois values ​​always take over at the end. The kiss between Samantha and Jean-Pierre eternally concludes the episodes.
