@Mielly Granny might be a victim hiding her tears behind a mask of smiles.
I'm just posting because I wanted an opportunity to mention a local Japanese retired granny who ran a sushi shop on daytime mostly for fun (set her own hours etc.) just to while the days away while (similarly retired) hubby was out golfing every day.
And that the biggest problem for lonely retirees in the industrial world is just that, loneliness. So if one manages to get a job (or more likely, hold on to it through some part-time deal even after retiring) there's plenty of retired people who come back just to have some semblance of the the daily routines they've spent 50 years or more perfecting..
(Now, a cleaning lady is probably the most unlikely pick though, since that's usually a job that wears you out if you've done it for 50 years, so she's probably been something else most of the time, like a housewife. So your suggestion that this particular person is probably doing it because she must, rather than because she wants, is likely to be more right than wrong. Still, if her hubby died and she got a suggestion and an opportunity to get out of the house and do some cleaning to make ends meet.. she might still be happy about it.)
