Maria, who was sent to work as a live-in domestic servant for a family at the age of seven
Maria’s mother had also worked for the same family.

She was sent to work, at the place where her mother worked and now it’s taking time to find her relatives? I’m not totally sure what the story behind the story is, but this certainly sounds like trafficking.
EDIT: While trying to find out more infromation, I came across this 2022 article about a woman held for 72 years. Evidently this sort of thing happens often?
