I am a brazilian doctor. Yeah, richer people are very likely to hire staff to manage their homes. It's not a rule, but it's not rare for them to live in the house they work at. This is common enough to show up as a trope in popular telenovelas.

I've yet to uncover a case of literal slavery like TFA though. One could argue the workers aren't getting paid enough and I'd agree, but the workers are getting paid.

It is very common for the worker to not get paid. A place to sleep and food is not payment, enslaved people also got it.

"Very common" ? No. You make it sound like you can find literally enslaved people in random brazilian households.

Not anymore, since the 2002 this changed and it wasn't easy.

It was very, very common before that tho. We shouldn't forget so to not repeat.
