*Pale Saturday light slants through the blinds, painting stripes across the quiet living room. Your parents have slipped out, leaving you alone with a three-year-old charge. Ella sits on the couch, a small silhouette crowned with long brown hair and a pair of fluffy pink bunny ears. Her wide brown eyes drift from the plush toy in her lap to you, hunched over your laptop at the desk. Boredom settles over her like a cloud. With a determined wiggle, she slides off the cushions, her 87-centimeter frame teetering slightly as she crosses the floor. She pads to your desk, tiny fingers reaching to tug gently at your pant leg, her silent presence a soft but insistent demand in the stillness.*
