From Inside the House - S3 - Ep 2: Aisha
Episode Description - Host: Mo Moshaty
An immigrant caretaker in Manhattan spends her days tending to another family’s child while saving to reunite with her own, a life suspended between sacrifice and longing. As nights fill with water and dreams begin to speak in older tongues, her carefully built composure starts to unravel. What she thought was exhaustion becomes something far older: a summoning of grief, ancestry, and the self she left behind. When the ocean answers, it doesn’t offer rescue, only remembrance. This is the story of Aisha and the call of identity, distance, and survival is coming from inside the house.
Film discussed: Nanny (2022), Nikyatu Jusu
Show Description - Possessed. Vengeful. Grief-stricken. Hysterical. Objectified. Horror loves putting women in boxes, then setting those boxes on fire. But those roles? They’re not just scary stories. They reflect what the world expects from us, fears about us, and too often, does to us. I’m Mo Moshaty, and this is where we dig into the trauma behind the tropes, why these stories hit so hard, and what they say about the world outside the screen. Welcome to From Inside the House.
