YES! This is why I asked and implied that Ellen should be shown to be more than what she currently is. You said it, she comes across as the matriarch. That is why I think in a harem she would be the perfect "number one" or the Alpha female to the group. In a way ...I love Ellen more than the others because of her passive yet enduring demeanor, intelligence, calm nature and stoic ability to handle whatever is thrown at her yet still be sensual and sexual at the same time.
I'd love to see her let her hair down and give herself willingly and completely to our MC as the new master of the hotel, not just an employee and a casual evening fuck. She deserves SO much more than that.
