That makes more sense, in my mind I was comparing the game with ancient Rome or early 1800s Africa where slavery was kinda more outlaw or in a really gray area. Seeing it as a more civil society where slavery was never illegal or developed with that in mind, sounds reasonable.
But, lolis and shotas aside, is kinda weird how the game don't allow the player to do what they want inside their house, like, if the master wanted he could do anything with the slaves and no one would noticed, I feel someone in the city is doing something despicable behind doors.
Anyway, just rambling, obviously the autor will do what they think is the best, lore and setting aside.

Slavery, most commonly referred to as servitude, is a legal institution that is very prevalent and socially acceptable in modern Ikaanos. It was passed into law in 2293 to quell the social unrest of that time. It was widely rejected by the female population at the time but over generations acceptance slowly grew until the practice became the widely-accepted institution that you see today.
"A person who enters servitude forfeits his or her right to freedom of movement, the ability to choose his or her activities, and control over his or her bodily autonomy. A servant transfers his or her rights to the bondsmaster, who is legally responsible for the slave, and lives at the bondsmaster's mercy until the contract expires."
"A bondsmaster must provide for his servants and not cause them unnecessary pain or starvation. He shalt not draw blood so that his servant loses consciousness unless adequate reasons exist. He shalt not strike or whip his servant so that he or she cannot walk after a day has passed. He is not allowed to let a servant die unless the servant has drawn blood on the bondsmaster or if the servant has committed a crime that is considered serious under skyguard enforcement law. If found guilty of any of these mistreatments, a bondsmaster may forfeit his right to his slave and/or pay a fine of up to 2000 dollars."

Slaves that work in kitchens. Services might include lighter domestic tasks shared by household slaves, but Foodgivers are seldom given the attention a household girl gets and this status is often reserved for older women or girls that are deemed not attractive enough.
