Sandra and Andrew, bonded by their love for food and Italian roots, opened a trattoria after culinary school. As their restaurant thrived and their son Matteo grew, they hired Anthea, a neighbor’s teen, to help with childcare. At first, it seemed fine—until Matteo’s daycare teacher reported he cried when Anthea picked him up.

Worried, Sandra and Andrew observed Anthea. They saw her snap at Matteo and leave him alone outside while she filmed herself inside. Horrified, they fired her immediately.

Later, Mrs. Deborah connected them with Gabriella, a professional nanny. Matteo quickly bonded with her, and his joy returned—he laughed, told stories, and drew happy pictures.

Now, every Friday after daycare, Gabriella brings Matteo to the restaurant. They share a quiet meal under soft lights, celebrating family, trust, and love. The trattoria remains their legacy—but now it’s also Matteo’s happy place, filled with warmth and laughter.
