Emmy is the titular protagonist of Dominic Cellini's webcomic series Emmy the Robot. She is a "nandroid" (nanny + android), 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 serves as a caretaker for the Delaire family and their daughter Madeline.
