So far, if you think of this as she hiring him as a house caretaker, I don't think it's that weird. ( I don't think 'caretaker' is the right word for it but I can't come up with other word, sorry. )
I thought Talas gonna offers to help in the kitchen but I guessed to leave it to the host was the norm then.
Also those young husbands seemed to be the most bored, haha.
