This 2014 short film was presented by Dust in 2016. It has since disappeared from Dust.

Throughout this film, there are commercials for androids call "iMoms," which are essentially caretakers for young children whose parents are too busy to take care of all their parenting duties themselves. But mostly the film focuses on one particular iMom, taking care of one particular boy named Sam, as well as his baby sister, Grace. Aside from the kids, iMom has various other household duties to perform, including cooking a whole chicken for dinner. Anyway... at first Sam wants nothing to do with iMom, but she gradually wins him over.

There's a horrific twist ending that I don't want to spoil, even though I think there's a good chance you'll guess it pretty early on in the film. And... I don't know what else to say.
