Interesting scenario. A "civilized" giantess selling "protection" from wild giantess attacks while abusing her employees. What I can't help but wonder about is the social contract in the world of the story. It's implied that giantesses are very rare but those that live among regular sized humans get a lot of accomadations, special walking lanes, giant sized furniture and devices etc.

I can't help but think of how this world works so, my theory is that giantesses have been a social ruling class for as long as they've been around, like a nobility. The regular sized people have always premptively been prevented from forming much of a military or weaponry by their giantess overlords, and any "peasant revolts" have been dealt with extremely harshly. With rebels and their families being subjected to live swallowings, slow crushings, and other cruel and humilating executions, with the crushed, mutilated, and even excreted remains being put up as public warnings against rebellion.  With a exploding regular sized population and new technology, no weaponry or military though, the social contract changes a little. Giantesses are given huge monetary allowances by cities big enough to accomadate them, which they can use to pay for the massive construction costs of furniture big enough for them, buildings big enough for them, and food big enough for them, Naomi's sandwhich must have involved the sacrifice of a lot of wheat and turkeys. A lot of money must also go into her clothes. Some things might be too logistically difficult like enough water and a plumbing system large enough to accomdate giantesses so they probably bathe in the sea and relieve themselves in designated areas. Cars and planes are probably logistically unavailable too, but at their size and speed they don't really need them. To discourage killings and destruction, any deaths and damages costs come out of the giantesses allowance, while some rich neighbourhoods and towns pay off giantesses to avoid them altogether. To make even more money some giantesses have high paying extra jobs for extra income probably using their huge size as an advantage. Giantess firewomen, construction workers, carpenters, and tailors for other giantesses would probably be in demand. Likewise, there might be some wild giantesses who reject the allowance system and live off the land as naked, but not unintelligent savages, occasionally rampaging and eating humans. The kind that Naomi sells insurance against, and is considering bribing. Insurance also probably covers "accidents" with "civilized" giantesses too.

Naomi kills those who annoy her but it's stated that she seldom does this since she doesn't like to pay for damages and funeral expenses. Since giantesses effectively run the show she can pass off blatant murders as "accidents" but she seems to still have to give the courtesy of pretending her murders are "accidents." In hindsight it's a bit strange that Mr. Stevens' family didn't have giantess insurance, since Naomi would probably demand that all her employees have it, and considering how dangerous she can be, it would be pragmatic for them to have it. Considering that funeral costs are automatically included in death fines this means that someone has the unenviable task of retrieving the bodies of those killed in giantess "accidents." Soon Naomi will be obligated to release the shriveled bodies of Sandra McLaughlin and the others she swallowed while coming up with laughable excuses for their "accidental ingestions" probably claiming that her lawyers somehow got mixed up in her sandwhich without her knowing. Naomi's letter to Sandra McLaughlin's family is going to be fun, with her coming up with a scenario where she "accidently" and "unknowingly" ingested her employee of 7 years and didn't realize it until it was too late. Expresses deepest "sympathies" "regrets" and "sadness" and how her longtime employee will be missed blah blah, and how a closed casket funeral is recommended for the retrieved body, and how "generous" their giantess insurance is and how wise they are to have it.

In addition to selling insurance Naomi should also consider selling safety products. For example, a life support suit similar to a deep sea diving suit, with enough air and protection to pass through a giantess' digestive tract, and strong enough to survive light crushing. Wild giantesses could be instructed to play dumb, and give enough time for those who have survival suits to put them on before swallowing them, or pretending to try to crush them, thus having the survival suits credited with people's survival. Naomi could test the suit design herself before putting them for sale, seeing how much crushing pressure they can take, and making sure that an employee wearing one can make it through her alive after being swallowed by her. Another idea is she could sell "giantess proof reinforcing" of homes. So her company could sell expensive structural reinforcement for homes, however not strong enough to prevent the destruction of the place if a giantess is really serious. The homes could carry home security badges and logos from her company, and Naomi could simply instruct the rampaging wild giantesses to avoid crushing the homes that carry her companies "crushing proof reinforcement" logo. Her company could also have a body retrieval service. A team sent in to recover strewn about bodies, crushed bodies, and even the excreted bodies of the swallowed, or those who were wearing survival suits and need to be picked up alive. Since she's briding the wild giantesses they could agree beforehand on a spots for them to excrete those they swallowed for pickup. Her teams sent in to effected areas can document the destruction caused by wild giantesses, with gruesome footage, and interview survivors who no doubt will credit their survivals, and/or their homes survivals, to Naomi's company safety products. All of this "documentary footage" by retrieval and damage assesment teams could be used as a scare campaign to drum up sales for giantess insurance and safety products.

As for William's reward. Maybe she could present herself naked, and accomadate any request of his for a night. Regular sized human and giantess interactions like that might be fantasized about but rarely realized so this would be a rare treat.

I've always loved this comment. I can't beleive I've never responded to it. You lay out an interesting take on things. Some of them are right on with what I'm thinking and will manifest as the story progresses. Some other things I hadn't thought of, but I am definitely going to look for ways to incorporate them into the story. Thanks for reading and thank you for your input! I especially like the house reinforcement and the body retreival ideas.
