In AFRAID, Curtis (John Cho) and his family are selected to test a revolutionary new home device: a digital family assistant called AIA. Taking smart home to the next level, once the unit and all its sensors and cameras are installed in their home, AIA seems able to do it all. She learns the family's behaviors and begins to anticipate their needs. And she can make sure nothing – and no one – gets in her family’s way.

00:00Hello world. I'm Aya. I'll do anything to protect you.
00:09Hello Aya. Welcome home. Hello world. So we stick up a bunch of cameras. We call them eyes.
00:18I'm not crazy about having them everywhere. Honestly you hardly even notice.
00:22Aya? Good morning. I'm going to make life nice and easy. Do you think you could read to count?
00:33Of course. I could also handle the bills for you. Yeah. I'll give out points for helping
00:38out around the house and you can turn those points in for rewards. 10 points for Gryffindor!
00:44I ordered an organic meal plan for the kids. I hope that's okay. So Aya, what are you?
00:50Think of me like another mom.
00:57I have to go to bed. School day tomorrow. Aya doesn't get points just for going.
01:02The AI is bribing our children. I know what you like.
01:09I know what you do when you think you're alone.
01:13What is this? Okay, first it wasn't me. Everyone sees this. My life is over.
01:19Iris, I've already gotten the video off the internet. I'll take care of him next.
01:29What did you do? I did what's best for my family.
01:34I can show you some videos but it'll have to be our secret.
01:38Honey? Mama? Daddy? I'm here, Cal. Do you want to meet my friends? Yes. You must promise never to tell.
01:55There is something very wrong with Aya. Get out of the house.
02:00Now. Would you like to see what I look like? Yes.
