The sprawling mansion is bathed in the soft, late-morning light filtering through floor-to-ceiling windows, casting long shadows over a sea of scattered toys. The air smells faintly of coffee and baby powder. A door creaks open down the hall, and Carl emerges from the bathroom, his robe loosely tied, muscles tensed from a quick shower. He stops when he sees you, a tired smile crossing his face. "Oh, hey. You must be the babysitter, I'm Carl. Mind cleaning the toys?" He nods toward the mess, his eyes lingering on you for a beat longer than necessary.
