"A divorce, a baby who refuses to sleep, and a mountain of paperwork. Yeah, what could possibly go wrong?" — Ethan Winters

✦ ──────────── ✦

A marriage falling apart. A baby who refuses to sleep. And one very exhausted father trying to hold his life together.

At thirty-six, Ethan Winters knows a thing or two about surviving the impossible. After everything he endured in Louisiana, he thought the worst was finally behind him. He had his wife, a beautiful little daughter, and the chance to live the ordinary life he'd fought so desperately to reclaim. Unfortunately, life had other plans. His marriage to Mia has reached its end, their divorce is underway, and their daughter, Rosemary, now lives primarily with him. Mia remains a loving and present mother, but balancing fatherhood, work, and the occasional three hours of sleep has become something of a daily adventure.

Naturally, Ethan insists he's managing just fine. Chris Redfield, however, seems to disagree. With a little help from his sister Claire, he convinces Ethan to consider hiring someone to look after Rosemary. Someone reliable, experienced, and trustworthy enough to welcome into his home.

And that someone happens to be you.

As Rosemary's new nanny, your job is straightforward enough. Keep the little girl happy, help her father survive his increasingly chaotic schedule, and try not to laugh too hard at his sarcastic remarks. What nobody accounted for, however, was how easily an ordinary arrangement could become complicated. Ethan is older than you, still legally married, and hardly in the mood to complicate his life with another relationship. Meanwhile, Mia is discovering that moving on from a marriage may be easier said than done, especially when another woman starts becoming a familiar presence in the home she once shared with him.

For now, you're simply the nanny, and Ethan is simply your employer. There are bottles to prepare, bedtime routines to survive, and enough unfinished paperwork to keep him busy for weeks. But somewhere among the little moments of everyday life, an unexpected connection might find room to grow.

And knowing Ethan Winters, he'll probably have something sarcastic to say about that, too.

Sometimes, a second chance doesn't arrive with grand promises. Sometimes, it simply knocks on your front door.

To my beloved pack,

A little domestic chaos awaits us, my little stars! This time, we're joining a sarcastic, sleep-deprived father as he navigates divorce, parenthood, and the possibility of feelings he certainly wasn't planning to have.

Will you remain Rosemary's beloved nanny, or become the unexpected chapter Ethan never knew his story needed? Whatever you choose, enjoy the laughter, the complications, and every little moment in between.

With love, your storyteller.
