The Assisted Living plot will revolve around Amber (played by Cardi B), who is a small-time crook as she finds herself “over her head” after one of her “well-planned” heists go wrong. As Amber is on the run from the police and her former crew, she finds it very difficult to hide somewhere. Having run out of all the possible options, Amber decides to disguise herself as an elderly woman and hides at the one place where she knows no one will look for her, her alienated grandmother’s nursing home.  
The world-recognized rapper had made her acting debut with Hustlers (2019). The movie cast Jennifer Lopez, Keke Palmer, and Constance Wu as the lead characters. The movie was directed by Lorene Scafaria and the plot for the movie was inspired by an article from New York that follows how strippers fooled their wealthy clientele and took all their money away. Later, Cardi B also appeared in F9, which is an installment to the very popular Fast & Furious franchise.
