A working mother became alarmed after returning home one evening to find her children’s babysitter with wet hair, having just stepped out of the shower. The babysitter explained that one of the children had spilled milk on her and that she showered quickly while the children were napping. The situation immediately made the mother uncomfortable.
Her concern deepened when her husband appeared at home unexpectedly and sided with the babysitter, dismissing his wife’s discomfort. This struck her as strange because her husband was supposed to be working the night shift. Although the babysitter eventually left, the mother’s suspicions lingered, and she began to fear that something inappropriate might be happening.
