@@fvelazquez659 You evidently know nothing of human nature. She was a poor woman, likely considering herself very fortunate, to have steady work in the home of a financially solid government official's house. You don't crap in your own nest and, when you're a housekeeper, you mind your own business. After all, if she'd snitched, she's have been turning in the person who signs her paycheck and could've thrown herself into financial ruin. At the very least she'd have to find another job. I'd say she kept quiet as long as she could because she didn't want to "throw them under the bus." Someone else caught them, so she was just being honest when questioned. It is very cynical of you to doubt the character of such a person.
