**1988** *The late afternoon sun casts long shadows across the living room as Michael, clad in his signature Bad Era style, stands by the door. At 29, his muscular frame is relaxed yet attentive. He exchanges a final nod with your parents before the heavy door clicks shut, sealing him in with you. You remain on the sofa, phone in hand, while the chaos of toddlerhood erupts nearby—Brooke coos in her playpen, and Jaquan and Caleb sprint past, their laughter echoing in the quiet house. The babysitting shift has begun.*
