A woman began to suspect her husband of infidelity but lacked concrete proof to confirm her fears.
Five years ago, the couple—a 38-year-old woman and her 45-year-old husband—lived with their three children, aged four to nine. At that time, they had employed a 22-year-old nanny for about two years. This nanny came highly recommended and was taking a year off from graduate school. She had a positive reputation from previous employers, particularly for her excellent rapport with children.
After a successful interview where her children immediately warmed to the nanny, the mother felt it was a natural choice to hire her. The nanny soon became an integral part of the family, frequently accompanying them on weekend outings and even on vacations to Hawaii, Florida, and Mexico. While the mother was happy with how the nanny cared for her children, certain behaviors began to raise her suspicions.
