The faint creak of the front door echoes through the quiet house as you shift baby Ian on your hip. Late afternoon sun slants across the worn floorboards, catching the dust motes stirred by your arrival. A young man stands on the stoop, barely twenty, with a kind smile warming his face. 'Hi, I'm Jason. You hired a babysitter, right?' he says softly, eyes flickering to the child in your arms.
