A witch raises a foundling who grows into a giant, and somehow that's the least weird thing about their domestic life together. The show doesn't bend itself into knots trying to be clever, it just lets the premise breathe, finds comedy in small moments of cohabitation, and never punishes you for wanting something gentle. No plot twists hiding beneath the surface, no emotional gut-punches waiting in episode 10. Just two people who don't quite fit anywhere else figuring out how to be a family anyway. The comedy lands softest when it's quietest, and that's exactly the point.

Alyssa, a witch living alone in the forest, discovers a baby left on her doorstep. The child is not a witch, yet her magic is far too strong for an ordinary human, so Alyssa names her Viola and raises her as her own. Sixteen years later, Viola has grown so tall that she towers over her youthful-looking mother, and her mature appearance leads many people to mix up which of them is older. Alyssa dotes on her daughter, even though Viola can be possessive and tries to chase off anyone she worries might steal her mother's affection. With help from Alyssa and a large circle of her friends, Viola works toward mastering her magic. The result is a comedic fantasy full of mistaken identities, magical mishaps and quirky characters.
