She spent three hours on two rooms. This a statement of her thoroughness and my lack of housekeeping skills.

She's coming back next week. I've asked.

She's willing.

I need this, clearly.

That's the crux of the problem. I don't think an android can have free will. It's a machine. But a house elf does have a mind of its own, so unless it were Dobby or some other volunteer servant, I think the android is the more ethical choice. (Admittedly, house elves are probably more fun.)

I think I'd prefer an android for the very reason of "fun" -- unless a house-elf and I were supremely socially compatible, I wouldn't be able to stand living with one. It would annoy me after the novelty of having a house-elf wore off, and I would be apprehensive lest I treat it poorly out of mere annoyance.
