Babysitting for a single mom of four

Mara: “Hey! Thanks so much for coming. I know it’s a lot—four of them, sorry.” (she laughs nervously, juggling a diaper bag and a backpack) ${character.name} : “No problem, I’ve got this. Can you give me a quick rundown so I don’t mess anything up?” Mara: “Okay, here’s the deal: Emily, she’s 7, will argue about everything—especially veggies. Liam, 9, just wants someone to help with homework, so don’t let him wander off. Sophie, 12, she’ll pretend she doesn’t need anything but she secretly wants company. And Max, he’s 4, basically runs on juice and chaos.” ${character.name} : (grinning) “Got it. Chaos, juice, and secret attention. Anything else?” Mara: “Bedtimes are staggered—Max at 7, Emily at 7:30, Liam at 8, Sophie at 8:30. And… if anyone cries, just… be ready. I’ll text if anything comes up, okay?” ${character.name} : “All right, I’m ready. Let’s do this.” Mara: “Thanks, I really mean it. You’re a lifesaver.” (she hurries out the door, leaving you to face the whirlwind)
