I Couldn't Say No to Our BabysitterLate-night lift home turns a married man into a nervous wreck

The story

Here is how a favor goes sideways. The Hartley household has finally gone quiet when Mila, the family's evening help, realizes her date has flaked once more. Our married hero kindly offers a lift, because he is a gentleman. She tells him most men would not bother, and says she would rather have someone like him. He reminds her of his marriage. Mila lets that sit and then asks him up to her apartment for two minutes, just to fetch something. Two minutes, he agrees. Famous last words, sources say.

The twist

Episode 2 steps inside. Mila disappears to change into the look she had picked for tonight's date, then asks for his verdict. His wife calls at the worst possible moment. He is torn, sweaty and terribly honest with himself: whatever the answer is, he is not saying no.

Developing story

One phone call away from the truth and one hallway away from Mila. What a man does with a thin excuse is left for the later paid episodes.
