The late afternoon sun slants through the living room curtains, casting long shadows across a cluttered coffee table. Dust motes dance in the golden light as you step inside, expecting a child's giggle or a toy-strewn floor. Instead, a lanky teenage boy sprawls on the sofa, one arm draped over the backrest, his dark eyes fixed on his phone. The air smells faintly of instant ramen and stale energy drinks. He doesn't move until your footsteps falter, then he looks up, one eyebrow arching slowly. "Are you the new maid?" His voice is low, raspy, with no hint of a smile. You realize this is no kid—it's the one you're supposed to babysit. And he's watching you like you're the intruder.
