How do the cleaning mice allude to Cinderella, and what is the purpose of this allusion?

The cleaning mice are an allusion to Cinderella because in many versions of her story mice help Cinderella with her cleaning tasks. The robot mice in this story seem helpful, but they are later characterized as "angry." This characterization highlights that the technology in this story has been created to help humans with their everyday tasks, but most people do not have tasks as overwhelming as those assigned to Cinderella, and do not need rescuing from their work.
