Andrea (Andy) Sachs is a 23-year-old college graduate and is working as a junior assistant to Miranda Priestly, the powerful editor of Runway magazine. Andy is currently trying to follow Miranda’s cryptic instructions to pick up the editor’s sports car at the garage and to collect Madelaine. Miranda never bothers to describe the make, model, or location of her car. She also fails to tell Andy who Madelaine is. Frantically, Andy tracks down the necessary information. She finds the sports car and discovers that Madelaine is Miranda’s new puppy and is at the vet. Andy gets the car and the dog and deposits both at Miranda’s townhouse.
Back at the office, Miranda berates Andy for not bringing the dog and the car to the office so that Miranda can take them away for the weekend. Andy concludes this episode by thinking to herself, “You don’t want her to die […] Because if she does, you lose all hope of killing her yourself. And that would be a shame” (8).
Andy skips back in time to recount how she landed the job as Miranda’s junior assistant. After graduating from college with a degree in English literature, Andy dreams of landing a job as a writer for The New Yorker.
