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> https://twitter.com/DomCellini_Art/status/1152701149146955776</ref><ref>https://archive.is/mUt9C</ref> One day later, the artist posted the series' first official chapter.<ref>[https://twitter.com/DomCellini_Art/status/1153051511641059328 Android Etiquette Rule 15]</ref><ref>https://archive.is/VC2AR</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> The comics 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 it has become a serialized webcomic with a weekly release until it was switched to a bi-weekly 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 among /co/mrades, and the series quickly developed a dedicated fanbase that is largely responsible for creating plenty of Nandroid-related fanart, with several OC's becoming well-known amongst the community. Thus, a dedicated booru site was created to house all of these drawings.
Outside of /co/ however, Emmy's popularity began to rise in the /pol/itically incorrect board starting from early 2020 onwards. She emerged as a popular subject on the board's frequent sexbot / robowaifu threads because, from their perspective, her attractive appearance and subservient, loyal nature makes them infinitely superior to female humans.

===The 2020 Fiasco===
Now with a proper serialized webcomic at her side, Emmy returned in the [[Ms. /co/ 2020|2020 contest]] with high hopes of qualifying. However, she was targeted throughout the whole tournament by a noted troll (presumed to be <abbr title="fusefag/gatsky">''that massive faggot''</abbr><ref>https://imgur.com/a/RU6YDsy</ref><ref>https://desuarchive.org/co/thread/103254101/#103262752</ref><ref>https://desuarchive.org/co/search/text/a%20fusion%20universe/username/fusefag/</ref>) who has a history of shitting up past nandroid threads.
During the nomination round, the troll used the name "REMOVE /POL/ PROPAGANDA CHARACTERS", attempting to damage her reputation by posting many inflammatory comments intended to bait replies, pretending to be other anons (samefagging), and associating Emmy with "Nazis", "incels", and "brigades from /pol/". ''Maybe Tommorow'' protagonist [[Skyla]] was also targeted by this troll with the same objective. While Skyla failed to qualify for the main bracket, Emmy's result was far more successful, having secured an unexpectedly high 5th seed. This was enough for some Anonymous fans, who don't expect her to do well but only to make an appearance.
