《淪落人》中Evelyn與黃秋生飾演的昌榮剛見面,昌榮早就打定輸數,早預料Evelyn很快便會辭職離去,更明言:「我請過好多工人,好清楚你們的技倆。」現實中的中風患者阿Ted,回心微笑,笑說起初因為社會刻板印象,也認定「聽好多人講,外傭唔係好人嚟。」

然而,當中風後左邊身體不靈,與輪椅為伴,眼前只有兩條路,要不長居院舍,又或聘請外傭照顧。阿Ted選擇後者。
 
家人決定聘請海外護理員照顧Ted。海外護理員雖以外傭工作簽證來港,但他們曾接受護理員,甚至護士級別的專業訓練。Ted指曾居院舍半年,但院舍以病人安全為首,「明明我行到,但就要我一定坐輪椅,連著衫都唔畀我自己著。我覺得自己好似廢人。」然而,Marisa卻給她鼓勵,每天陪伴他散步三小時,「他有時會氣餒,失去盼望。他說喜歡旅行,我說他康復後,我們便一起環遊世界。」電影中朋友問昌榮:「你點解咁信個菲傭?」Ted回答說:「我與她本來互不相識,為什麼要如此用心幫我?當佢陪我散步時,我感覺到佢唔係當一份工,而係真係關心我。」
