One day, a woman came home from work and was shocked to find the nanny stepping out of the shower. When confronted, the nanny explained that one of the children had spilled milk on her, so she needed to clean up. The woman found this explanation unusual and asked for more details. The nanny reassured her that since the kids were napping, she didn’t think it would be a problem to shower briefly, insisting she wasn’t really leaving them unattended.
The woman was still uneasy and expressed that she didn’t think it was appropriate for the nanny to shower in her home. As they argued, the woman’s husband unexpectedly appeared in the living room, despite supposedly being at work. He sided with the nanny, telling his wife she shouldn’t be upset over something as minor as a shower. This confused and alarmed the woman, who began to suspect her husband might be having an affair with the nanny.
To ease her doubts, the woman decided to use a nanny cam she had kept from when the children were babies. She installed it in the living room to monitor what was happening while she was away. The next day, she watched the footage and noticed her husband arriving home early and leaving in the morning, even though he was supposed to be at work. Feeling unwell and uneasy, she asked her boss for the day off to return home.
When she got home, she found her husband cooking lunch. He seemed surprised to see her early and asked how she managed to leave work so soon. After hearing her explanation about a power outage, he confessed something unexpected: he had been laid off a week earlier due to company downsizing. Afraid to tell her, he had pretended to go to work every day while searching for a new job and helping care for the children.
He then clarified the situation with the nanny, confirming that their daughter had spilled milk on her, and he had told her to shower while he stayed home to watch the kids. The misunderstanding was cleared, and the woman’s suspicions were laid to rest.
