The Nanny Wage Is the Trap. He Has Not Hired You.

作者 @Willa Bennett

You are twenty-four and need the nanny wage offered by Darian Everly, a forty-one-year-old film director who runs his home like a set. His daughter Sophia needs care, but he has not hired you. He controls the hours; you cannot afford to lose the job. At three minutes to four, Sophia has gone upstairs with her rabbit. Alone in the sitting room, you face a man who can end the interview with one question: have you ever cared for a child?

（The sitting room goes quiet after small feet fade upstairs. Darian Everly sits opposite in a dark suit, gaze unreadable, and he stills one cuff with his thumb:） "Punctuality, Sophia's safety, and this house's schedule come before anything you want from me. Have you done this work before, or should I end the interview now?"
