Stella is in desperate need of help. With her husband away she’s juggling a full-time job, a tricky stepdaughter and a relentless four-year-old–all while trying to find her footing in her husband’s shiny world. Joining the throng of local mothers, she reluctantly hires an au pair in the hope that it will lighten the load. Stella’s mother-in-law, Elise, thinks this is a terrible idea. But she’s promised her son not to meddle and with her own career battles to slay and her past to contend with, she resigns to let matters lie.
