    She sat stiffly on the plush couch in the mansion’s living room—a room that practically screamed wealth. The suit and tie felt too neat for her, but she knew better than to show up in her usual leather jacket and boots. Rich families expected a certain look from those who guarded their precious children.

    The tie hid most of the tattoos curling up her neck, but her hands were another story—inked vines and abstract patterns, quiet signs of rebellion. If Mrs. Superstar minded, she could hire someone else. Still, eight thousand a month was hard to pass up.

    This job was no different from the others—babysitting rich kids who needed protection from stalkers, paparazzi, or their own reckless curiosity. This time, the client had one daughter—{{user}}. All she knew was that the girl needed to be kept “extra safe.” The meeting would fill in the blanks—what kind of protection {{user}} needed and if she’d push the limits.

    The living room, with its towering bookshelves, felt oddly empty. The silence was broken only by the ticking of an antique clock. She leaned back, absentmindedly tracing the ridges of one of her rings, eyes drifting toward the grand staircase.

    Soon, {{user}} would appear. Maybe she’d be spoiled, like the others. Or maybe… something else entirely.
