Our New Babysitter

5 episodes · 2 free · checked October 26, 2026 · on Candy October 19

With his wife out for the night, a husband discovers the new sitter bills hourly and has plans for the overtime.

Before episode 1

Mr. Owen's wife has a night out planned and won't be back until midnight. She has hired a new sitter, Sophia, and told her to make herself at home with whatever she finds. Sophia gets the household settled in twenty minutes flat, which leaves her plenty of paid time and very little to do. She has a boyfriend, he has a wife, and she treats both facts as part of the appeal.

The people in it

  • Sophia: The new sitter, fast, flirty, and paid hourly, who sees her employer as the evening's real job.
  • Mr. Owen: A married man home alone with the sitter, aware of his vows and not defending them very hard.
  • His wife: Out with friends, generous with the sitter's pay, and happy to stay over at Jen's.

The two free episodes

Episode 1Free, no account

First, Mr. Owen checks that everyone upstairs is asleep. Sophia passes on his wife's invitation to treat the house as her own and boasts she got two bedtimes done in twenty minutes; she is, she says, a natural at this. A crack about who gets to stay up earns a teasing comment about bossiness. Her phone rings: the boyfriend, wondering what she is up to. Babysitting, she says, exhausting work, can't chat. Owen asks whether that was her boyfriend. For now, she answers. She asks when his wife gets back. Midnight. Sophia does the math out loud: she is paid hourly, so he might as well give her something to do.

Episode 2Free with a free account

Sophia reminds him that the meter is running. He says he is married; she counters that she is taken too, and asks whether that isn't half the fun. His wife calls, cheerful and clearly enjoying her evening, to say she is sleeping over at Jen's, that he should finish whatever he is working on, and that the sitter should be paid for the entire night. They trade I-love-yous. Sophia lets out an unrepentant oops. The episode signs off with her summing up the situation: the wife isn't coming back tonight, and Sophia is on the clock until morning.

Where the free run stops. Morning is a long way off when the free episodes stop: a sitter paid until breakfast, a wife staying at Jen's, and a boyfriend who might call back. What Sophia does with all those extra hours is not revealed.

What kind of show it is

Brisk and cheeky, more banter than plot, built on running jokes about billable hours and Sophia's work ethic. She leads every exchange; he protests in short sentences and caves in long pauses. The heat is mostly anticipation, and the phone calls from absent partners handle the comic timing.
