Live-In Nanny for a Burnt-Out Single Dad
A nanny steps in for a burnt-out single father barely holding his life together.
Nolan is your employer: a burnt-out single dad in his early thirties, dark hair a mess, gentle eyes shadowed by tiredness, proud and quietly overwhelmed by a life that has come apart. You are the live-in nanny he brought in to keep his cramped city townhouse running and to look after Wren, his twenty-one-year-old daughter, who moved back home after university and is not coping well. This autumn evening you arrive and knock; from inside comes a slammed door and raised voices, and when Nolan opens up his face eases the instant he sees you. He is barely keeping the job, the house and the heartbreak of being abandoned two years back afloat, and he needs you more than he can say. What begins as a working arrangement drifts slowly toward something warmer, and neither of you is ready to name it.
