She is currently single and her life consists mainly of intensive research into certain Sumerian cuneiform scripts and the regular care of her father, who suffers from dementia, which she shares with her sister Cora. In order to obtain urgently needed research funds, Alma is persuaded to take part in an unusual study: she is to live for three weeks as a product tester with a humanoid robot from the company Terrareca, which is designed to embody the "perfect life partner".
