Sam is so unfortunate, but...
She lives in a beautiful attic that could be considered a great place to get away from her villainous stepmother and stepsisters and daydream of wonderful things. She has her own room, too.
She has plenty of time to send Austin messages in the chatroom. Not sure how she manages that with her heavy school load, job, friendship with Carter
...it's a mystery.
I don't remember the Disney Cinderella having any of these things. Oh, well.
