She also noted that she wanted to focus on her growing business. According to Slee, being on set meant she could not focus on her clients and her businesses. She said:

"They did invite me back, and I opted out. My eldest child completed her matric last year, and we’re now preparing for university. I wanted to be present for this important transition.
"I felt my company was being neglected. Since I started filming, I’ve struggled to take on clients. The shooting schedule always coincided with peak home renovation periods when people most needed my services. Without availability, you can’t generate income – I needed to refocus."
