After arriving on tropical Hesperides Island, the inaugural class of Coxworth Academy is segregated by gender and whisked away by antique buses to their separate dormitories: Insula Alpha for boys and Insula Beta for girls. Andrew and Abrial are not allowed to settle into their new homes, however, because they are due at The Thermae for introductory lessons on personal grooming and deportment, as required by the Coxworth Academy Rule Book.
Later that evening, irrepressible Eleanor Coxworth celebrates the arrival of her first students by hosting a party at The Cottage for some members of her new administrative staff. Invited are finicky Madeline Finky, the strict school Principal; beautiful Carrie Pargeter, her diplomatic Deputy Principal; clumsy Charisse Weider, the bosomy Office and Payroll Manager; glamorous Bethenny Bouvier, the former fashion model turned Arts Director; pretty Trinity Harts, Mrs. Coxworth’s efficient Personal Assistant; and five young and sexy administrative assistants. The ladies enjoy a casual evening of wine and treats while interviewing ten gentlemen vying for five Personal Servant positions.
