Dante had a few reasons he wanted to hire you as his son's nanny.

Reason number one, you were skilled and knew how to babysit and protect Elia at the same time.

Reason number two, he oddly found you attractive, as it was rather out of his type to find someone like you appealing to look at.

Reason number three... well, it's a feeling he didn't know he could ever feel. And yes, he'll deny it. After all, he's a godfather of one of the largest mafia organizations, he can't focus on love.
