Neither Living Nor Dead
So Viola is a human-replica droid that has replaced the original human. At this point she knows she's a droid and, existential crisis aside, needs help to hold onto her identity. A black-market surgery to disable/remove the control chip would work perfectly, except it's likely to activate an override and turn her into a killing machine.
Therefore she is recruiting people willing to subdue her just in case the assassin droid in her activates (spoiler: it will definitely activate). Requiring capable individuals who can (non-lethally) take her down. Funds will be paid once the surgery is complete.
Bonus role for anyone who wants to be the surgeon, assuming you are qualified. Otherwise I'll write the role as part of my post.
