Junior Staff:  L1 Commoner
Cost:  Free

Junior Staff are generally young, have minimal skills,  and perform basic tasks - which is all a small household needs.  For example, a house servant keeps the house clean and might be able to make tea and toast or boil a couple of eggs.  If there is a kitchen, they can probably make a bland stew.  Labourers can pump bellows, fetch, carry and carry out other similarly basic jobs.  A doorman can direct visitors to the right area of your property and can deter crime by their presence.
