The Nanny's Secret Plan
"Bola, I am feeling there is something about this nanny that is not yet clear with me." Tayo said as she was wondering around the living room.
Bola who was sitting in the sitting room scrolling through his phone, trying to get somethings done on his phone. "My dear, you have been repeating this severally. Who knows, it might just be imagination."
Tayo was not in agreement with that most especially the statement of imagination "Bola, this is not imagination. I have been studying nanny camera for days and I am sure what I saw was real and not imagination." Tayo was sure of what she saw and she knows this is not just a paranoid.
This whole issue started the day Tayo begin to notice little things going on. Today might be a missing apple, tomorrow might be a missing gadget. Things were not right somewhere and Tayo was sure that her son, Jide is too much to be the cause of this and so she have no other option but to suspect the new nanny.

Nanny Mary was employed three months ago as a result of the last nanny quitting her job with no direct and transparent reason as to why she suddenly quit. For the first few period, Nanny Mary was looking as an answer to prayer because of her charming personality. But things suddenly change as it's looking like there is some sudden occurrence happening in the house pointing to something.
Bola having enough of it. "You see Tayo, if you insist then, how about we should check the camera to get more details"
Tayo looking at him with a sharp look. "Babe, you should trust me, I have been checking the camera but its looking like something is wrong with the footage as some days are missing from the camera footage."
Bola was surprised. "Missing, how possible? Was the camera tampered by someone?"
"I have been having that feeling. Looking like she tampered the camera." Tayo responded
Bola still not yet convinced that nanny Mary will have the other thought. "Babe, I actually feel nanny Mary will not do that at least with her charming personality."
*Who was whether she is even a witch or a thief" Tayo replied in a bid to establish and prove her suspicious feelings to be right.
Bola was shocked and busted into laughter. "Witch? Babe, you are joking. Anyway, let's go deeper then to find the suspicious feeling you have concerning this nanny Mary then."
Tayo grabbing the laptop right in front of her and checking through the security camera feed from last few weeks. They both gein to view through all the incident. Of course at first, everything was going smooth. Nanny Mary taking care of Jide, she doing the normal and basic household chores. Nothing suspicious was seen at first.
But halfway to viewing through all the camera footage, they saw a particular incident where nanny Mary was folding some clothes but paused to stare at the camera.
At that particular moment, both Bola and Tayo were shocked.
"Nanny Mary can see the camera?" Bola asked with curiosity.
"Yes, it is looking like it." Tayo responded. "Babe, I knew she was up to something " Tayo went further to establish her claim to be right about nanny Mary.
Watching further, they notice there was a particular point nanny Mary pulled out another camera.
Curiosity was raised much more. "What is that?" Tayo asked with total surprise.
"Why will Nanny Mary have her own camera?" Bola asked in curiosity.
Without thinking any further, both Bola and Tayo rushed to the bookshelf where it seems Nanny Mary kept her camera according to the camera footage. Checking through, they were able to find the small camera.
Tayo been so nervous. "Does it mean Nanny Mary planted a camera in our own house?"
"But why will she do that?" Bola asked in search of answers to lot of questions within him.
"Or she is spying on us?" Tayo responded. "Probably, she might be working for someone to spy on us."
"You know what babe, if nanny Mary thought she is smart, we will outsmart her. We are going to play her game along." Bola replied to Tayo.
The next fateful day, both Bola and Tayo set out their plan. They behave nothing actually happens and continue with their usual daily activities. They begin to bring us some conversations just to test nanny Mary nervousness out.
"Babe, I am thinking we will be buying more hidden camera in this house next week to increase the security level of our home. What do you think?" Bola asked Tayo
"Of course that will be Great baby" Tayo responded.
They noticed gradually, nanny Mary begins to get more nervous day by day.
This fateful day, Both Bola and Tayo overhead Nanny Mary speaking to someone on the phone. "We need to be very careful as they have been acting strange and even thinking about getting more hidden camera. I am sensing they know"
They both finally look to their eyes. "babe, we have catch her."
But before they can conclude, Nanny Mary continues with the conversation. "I was planning to record Jide milestone for his birthday surprise video I was planning." She said. "I guess they wouldn't notice"
At that particular time, it dawned on Bola and Tayo that they have been misinterpreting the situation all this while as it turns out that the hidden camera they saw at the bookshelf was still part of the surprise video Nanny Mary was working on to give Jide a surprise moment for his birthday coming soon.

12 commentsYou have a very good plot that carried me to the end of the story. I guess I was relieved to find that Mary only meant no harm. I would go crazy if I found out someone placed a hidden camera in my home.
I was amused by Tayo's excessive concern about the nanny and it reflects how important communication is to avoid misinterpretations.
This is quite similar to my story
Nannies can’t be fully trusted
I’m happy that the plan of Nanny Mary wasn’t successful
I’m happy that Bola and Tayo overheard the discussion of Nanny Mary with that person on phone
If not, they would have carried out the bad plan

STOPYou can't really blame tayo. It's just normal mother instincts.
I can only imagine how relief, they both felt knowing that Mary wasn't a thief but was planning a surprise instead
Nannies, waow who would have thought nannies could hatch a dubious scheme. Good ending.
Glad Nanny Mary intensions weren't bad but why does she act so suspicious?
Nanny Mary is a joker
I was surprised at the ending, turns out nanny wasn't a bad person after all. 😊
Well done!
