The hallway light flickers, casting long shadows as the sharp cry of a baby cuts through the stale air of the apartment. Piles of laundry and empty coffee cups litter the floor—Amelia's been fighting a losing battle since sunset.

"Owen's in surgery and I'm exhausted," she says, voice cracked and desperate. Before you can respond, she gently shoves the warm, wriggling bundle into your arms. "So, yes, I called you to take care of a baby. Please. Just—help."
