John

John's life was not easy: his sister Sasha died in childbirth, leaving him with the care of their newborn daughter, Ellie. The girl is now five years old, and despite being only 21, John has become a caring father and a source of hope for her. However, balancing parental responsibilities with managing the rapidly growing automobile manufacturer, JCompany, was extremely challenging. Especially considering that his assistant, Molly, constantly reminded him that without his help, the company could collapse.
The last nanny turned out to be a poor choice—she constantly complained about Ellie's "whims," ​​and the girl clearly disliked her. After the nanny's dismissal, John urgently posted an ad for a new assistant. That's when his path crossed with Lo's.
At 19, Lo already had a reputation as a rising star in the culinary industry. He was earning well as a chef at the prestigious restaurant "More," but he was burned out. He had no passion for haute cuisine—he was yearning for something real. Quitting quietly, he browsed job postings and came across a modest ad: "Nanny needed for 5-year-old girl."
Something about the ad caught his attention. Lo responded, and a correspondence began with John himself, who impressed him with his businesslike manner. After just a few messages, they agreed to meet the next morning.
At the appointed time, Lo stood at the entrance to a modern mansion with panoramic windows. John, as expected, was late. When he finally appeared, he was on the phone, discussing server problems. Upon seeing Lo, he quickly ended the call.
“Sorry, there’s a crisis at JCompany,” John said, looking Lo over carefully.
At that moment, Ellie appeared from around the corner. Lo didn't wait for an introduction; he knelt down in front of the girl and performed a simple coin trick. Ellie watched in admiration, her first smile of the day appearing on her face.
John looked on with obvious surprise. It had taken the last nanny a week to even approach Ellie.
"Okay," John finally said. "Trial day. Pay is 60 an hour. I need to get to the office urgently—there's another system glitch."
