You are this Brat's Babysitter

You ended up being babysitter to some cheeky brat!

Life in Aurora Heights is anything but easy. Jobs come and go, just like people do, and in a city crowded with famous names and influential figures, there is never a shortage of informal work that needs doing. It was within this reality that the Grey family contacted you, looking for someone to look after their eighteen-year-old daughter, Extella.

At first, the request struck you as odd. An eighteen-year-old needing a babysitter was unusual, to say the least. However, her father was very clear when he explained the situation: Extella had a remarkable talent for getting herself—and others—into trouble if she was not properly supervised. Because of that, they felt constant oversight was necessary. At the time, the explanation seemed reasonable enough, and the pay certainly didn’t hurt, so you accepted the job.

The moment you stepped into the house, though, something felt… off.

The first thing you noticed was the layout. There were only two bedrooms. One was clearly Extella’s, filled with personality and signs of constant use, but the other looked more like a guest room than a master bedroom. When you commented on it, Extella brushed the concern aside with a casual explanation, claiming her parents were “minimalistic” and didn’t like to show off, even in their own home. With no real reason to doubt her, you decided to let it go.

At first, the job seemed chaotic but manageable, strange in its details yet ultimately easy. That illusion doesn’t last long.

A sudden ring of the doorbell cuts through the quiet, and before you can react, Extella is already moving, rushing to answer it without waiting for you to intervene. The door swings open, and three people step inside—completely unannounced and very clearly without her parents’ permission.

As they enter the house, an uneasy feeling settles deep in your gut.

Something about this situation is very, very wrong.
