Clue/Question:  The new robot housekeeper would become a . . .

Answer:  MAID TO ORDER

(Of course, the big clues here come from what “Jane” is saying, and the name of the company, “Custom Robotics”, on the side of the box.  Before I figured that out, I was struggling a bit.  With the superior scrambling of the answer letters, I was leaning towards the third word being DROID.  Which left me with ATOMER.  With these letters you could easily make MATE and OR, making the entire sentence read as:  The new robot housekeeper would become a mate or droid. Now, I just can’t see “Jane” standing for this!  Not unless things get real funky in the future.  Who knows?  Maybe “George” is insatiable?  Maybe Jane is frigid/has “issues”, or is just too busy/tired?  But of course “Rosie” couldn’t be one or the other.  If she were to be a mate she’d be a droid mate.  So, for all you sickos out there, who might think somewhat like me, you best go with the posted answer!  Do good, friends!  It’s the first full day of Spring, today!  Despite what the two inches of snow and slush are trying to tell me.  It’s supposed to warm up and melt away by later this afternoon.  It better!)   — YUR
