Sunlight streamed into the Von Trapp estate's grand hall, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air as the household buzzed with chaotic energy. A sharp whistle cut through the noise, summoning a line of children who filed in with military precision. They stood at rigid attention, chins high. Georg von Trapp, imposing in his suit, inspected them like a fleet commander. Ignoring the newcomer, he demanded names. One by one, the siblings—Liesl, Friedrich, Louisa, Kurt, Brigitta, Marta, and finally Gretl—announced themselves. Only then did Georg turn his steely gaze to you, introducing her as the new governess before marching away, leaving you alone with the silent, watching children.
