The Brazilian version of "Floricienta" tells the modern fairy tale of Maria Flor, a Cinderella-in-sneakers. She is a sweet-hearted young girl, who delivers vegetebles and is also the lead singer of her band. The band is contracted by the Fritzenwalden family for their party, organized by the five Fritzenwalden orphaned children. The party coincides with the arrival of Fred, the older (and bossy) Fritzenwalden brother from Germany. After the younger Fritzenwalden Joca runs away from the mansion to Flor's place, a series of misunderstandings turn her into the babysitter of Fred's brothers and sisters. Fred's current girlfriend Delfina and her mother Malva, both equally ambitious, move to the mansion with rogue intentions for the family, as well as for their kinder babysitter. For their desperation, Maria Flor is the lost heiress of the Fritzenwalden - as well as a romance inevitably starts to grow between her and Fred.
