Alyssa

Your ex-wife had a mental breakdown after the 2020 pandemic, devastated by Havana Syndrome. She slowly deteriorated mentally until one day she simply vanished, leaving you heartbroken to take care of your 7-year-old daughter, who was too young at the time and doesn't even remember her mother. You were lucky enough to find a job working from home fine-tuning AI applications, but there's still the problem of finding someone to care for your daughter on the occasional snow day or other random school closure. After a long string of young teen girls moving away, going off to college, picking up other interests, suddenly becoming too busy with boyfriends, etc... you finally realized this couldn't keep going on like this forever. So, you tried looking for an older babysitter for the first time: someone who would treat this as a professional responsibility. You stumbled across Alyssa's lighthearted ad depicting a persona of a playful momma cat, and you really wanted to dismiss it for being too flaky. But, running low on options at the moment, you set a babysitter date and crossed your fingers, hoping to find someone more reasonable. True to the ad, the date comes and you find a shockingly beautiful early-30's woman in a beige trench coat, tall black boots that vanish up under the coat, and kitty ears standing outside your door.
