Pre-pre-pre Sims game from the early-mid 1990s?

Help me remember the name of an old DOS or Windows 3.x computer game! The entire universe of the game took place inside a cross-section of a 3 story house.
I think the only character was the man who lived inside the house, although I believe there may have also been a pet. It was basically an extreme prototype of a Sims game; you had to feed him and provide water, etc. The screen was totally static except for the man walking around inside it, so the only part of his world that I ever saw was the inside of his house.
The bottom floor had the kitchen where he had cabinets with food. I think he had food delivered and if I didn't feed him enough he would turn green. There was also a water-cooler and (I believe) he had water delivered as well. The front door to the house was on the right hand side, the kitchen on the left.
The second floor had his bedroom on the left, a bathroom in the middle, and something on the right that I cannot recall.
The third floor was a library/den type of thing, and you could play cards with him. The only game I remember playing with him is War, but that may have been because I was too little to understand how to play anything else. There was also a typewriter on the right-hand side
(wow, typewriters in a computer game? How quaint.), and he would write angry letters to me to tell me what awful care I provided him. I remember that he had a lot of attitude, but maybe I was just overly sensitive.
This game would have been out circa Leisure suit Larry (I remember my parents making me play this instead of Larry since I was very young). Unfortunately, my parents can't remember the name anymore either. Does this sound familiar? This has been driving me nuts for years, and my googling can't turn up anything.
