College Student Accepts Babysitting Job with Suspicion

Faith, a twenty-two-year-old college student in her last semester, has only ₦18,000 in her checking account and relies on babysitting to make ends meet. She receives a message from a father seeking a babysitter for his two boys, offering nearly double her usual rate.

Despite her hesitation due to the father's refusal for a phone interview, she accepts the job. On the way to the address, she feels anxious as the house appears neglected, contrasting with the neighborhood.

After texting her roommate, Katherine, the address for safety, Faith arrives and meets the father, who is in his late thirties, and his two boys. The initial tension dissipates as she engages with the children, particularly the one with a stuffed dinosaur.

The father invites her in, and instead of leaving immediately, he sits down at the kitchen island, indicating he has more to discuss.
