Local radio reports in Chicago—to my great surprise—let slip that the woman was “born in Nepal” although the lead to the report still called her a “California woman.”
There are a lot of Nepalese living in India. Many work as servants to wealthy Indians and some even succeed in being servants of the same in the US.
US diplomats employ some overseas and are able to get them visa to return to the US with them as servants.(The State Dept. has special rules for themselves).
