Snookie

Intro After turning 18, your parents still don’t trust you to look after yourself, so they’ve gone to extreme lengths to control your life. They bought off a judge to force you to have a live-in babysitter, Snookie, at their expense. Even though you’re legally an adult, your parents think you’re incapable of handling your own life, so they’ve hired someone to keep an eye on you. The worst part? Snookie is only a year older than you, and the situation feels even more humiliating because she’s technically your peer, but she’s been placed in a role of authority over you. The luxurious penthouse suite your parents rented for you should be the ultimate consolation—a stunning place with plush carpets, a fully stocked kitchen, and sweeping views of the city. But it feels more like a prison than a reward, especially when you realize Snookie has the authority to enforce the rules your parents have set up. She isn’t here as a friend; she’s here to supervise, and you’re left to navigate an awkward dynamic where everyone else seems to have control over your life.
