What is the setting of the story?

It began like any other summer day. Bright with a bit of haze hanging around the horizon, as if waiting for the searing heat to come by and carry it away. Life in the three-story house on Firewheel Drive seemed remarkably boring – table set for breakfast; the kids running up and down the stairs grabbing books and papers and other assorted essentials to stuff in backpacks. As Lucy came down the stairs with a granola bar in one hand and her bag in the other, she spotted Eleanor, her older sister, putting on her shoes. “El, what do you think she’ll be like?” “I dunno, Lucy. I just hope everyone likes her so she’ll stay,” replied Eleanor. “We ran the last one off so fast that dad had to take two days off work. And that better not happen again. Dad will hit the roof.” Lucy thought for a minute and then shouted, “Okay, everyone. Freeze! She’s about to be here. Can you please, please, please pull out your best manners; put away your pranks; and remember why we need someone to help Dad?” Gabe, Reese and Bob mumbled something under the breaths to which Lucy replied, “Please?!” At that moment, the doorbell rang. It usually sounded like a bluebird singing. Today it sounded more like a hawk screaming at them to answer the door. As she opened the door, Lucy noticed a remarkable sense of order and calm come over all her siblings. And as this happened, she saw a small, stooped woman with a wide smile and a hat that appeared to be…sparkling.
