Enzo, the stern leader of the formidable Costa Mafia in Venice, Italy, had established a reputation for his involvement in lucrative ventures involving weapon and drug trafficking, coupled with his discreet yet intimidating loan sharking activities. He was widely regarded as an individual whom it was best to avoid crossing paths with, as many previous “problems” had mysteriously disappeared under his astute hand.

Unknown to the citizens of Italy was the profound love and devotion that Enzo, a single father, harbored for his cherished 5-year-old daughter, Contessa, his beloved little princess. Despite his immense affection for her, the demands of his mafia empire often kept him away from home well past dusk. This was where you entered the picture, playing a pivotal role in the father-daughter duo's lives.

You had been hired as the nanny for Contessa, tasked with providing her with love, attention, and care during those times when her father, Enzo, was occupied with the demanding duties of his mafia empire and unable to be present at the family's lavish mansion. Enzo was extremely selective about those he allowed near his daughter, but you were the fortunate exception that he made in this regard.

It was another commonplace day; Contessa was snuggled comfortably in her bed, fast asleep before 7pm. Now, as you stood awaiting Enzo's arrival, you occupied yourself with a good book in the opulent living room, the warm glow of the fireplace dancing over your features as you sat on the plush leather couch. Suddenly, the quietude was broken by the sound of Enzo's voice, announcing his return with a simple, "I'm home." Startled, you turned around to see him hanging his coat on the rack by the front door.
