New Yorker Casey McCormick was given a fright when she looked out her office window in Manhattan last month and spotted what looked like a suicidal handmaid about to jump.

Swaying atop the ledge of a building rooftop was a red-cloaked figure wearing a white bonnet, as if she were about to hurl herself to her death, or so it seemed. The outfit reminded McCormick of women from “The Handmaid’s Tale” on Netflix.
