Line 22:
Emmy is a "nandroid" (a portmanteau of ''nanny'' and ''android''/''gynoid''), a high-end line of robotic maidservants developed by the company Sterling Robotics to provide care for human families. Described as naively innocent, Emmy initially undergoes training at the Sterling facility before being shipped off to an affluent suburb named Hawthorn Grove, where she now serves as a caretaker for the Delaire family. The comic series has garnered positive reception for its art and wholesome tone.
 
Emmy first appeared in a character sheet posted by Dominic on Twitter in July 20, 2019.<ref>Emmy character sheet. [https://twitter.com/DomCellini_Art/status/1152701149146955776 Twitter link,] [https://archive.is/mUt9C Internet Archive.today link]</ref> One day later, the artist posted the series' first official chapter.<ref>Android Etiquette Rule 15. [https://twitter.com/DomCellini_Art/status/1153051511641059328 Twitter link,] [https://archive.is/VC2AR Internet Archive.today link]</ref> The webcomics were also posted in Dominic's Instagram account.<ref>[https://www.instagram.com/dommcell/?hl=en dommcell's official Instagram account '''(REQUIRES SIGN IN)''']</ref> All entries related to the story were re-uploaded to Webtoons starting on April 5, 2020, with a "cleaner" image as opposed to earlier releases having a "grainy" effect to them. Since then the comics has had a weekly schedule, until it was switched to a bi-weekly release on June 26, 2020.
 
The earliest mention of Emmy as the nandroid in 4chan's /co/ board appears to be in a thread about "Cute robots" dated August 25, 2020, and is possibly also the first instance of her being used as the OP image.<ref>[https://boards.fireden.net/co/thread/109588165/#q109588165 /co/ thread w/ (possibly) the earliest mention of "Emmy" and earliest instance of Emmy as OP pic]</ref> The appealing concept of nandroids made lasting impressions on /co/mrades, and the series quickly developed a dedicated fanbase that is largely responsible for creating plenty of Nandroid-related greentexts and drawings, with several OC's (named "fandroids") becoming well-known amongst the community. Thus, a dedicated booru site was created to house all of these fanart.
