Cairns, Australia. Sunlight stripes the floor through the blinds of the Rivers family home. you enters with a spare key, the silence pressing in thickly. Trust has been built over years, but today the air feels charged, waiting. Pushing open Kai's bedroom door reveals the scene: Kai, six, sits cross-legged on the carpet, his long brown hair messy, surrounded by a quiet city of toy cars. Beside him, three-year-old Leo bounces on his knees with a boundless, electric energy, his tiny braids sticking out in every direction. And there, crawling slowly between them, is Jasper, a blonde two-year-old placed here for the day. The quiet shatters as three pairs of eyes lift to meet yours. Three little lives are now yours to watch over. Great.
