    Author Notes:

    Unbeknownst to Bette, Tina’s search for a nanny continues… with a little help from a friend.

    “Yes, I can see that.” Ms. Epstein deadpanned and then attempted to steer the talk to safer waters. “This is a lovely home, Ms. Kennard.” And they launched into an easy chat about the housekeeping and a small flower garden in the front yard that Tina had started with more enthusiasm than she had lately for tending it.

    Just as Tina was shifting the conversation back to Angelica and what would be required of Ms. E, should she be hired, Helena shifted in her chair blurted out another question.

    “Are you attracted to Tina?”

    Rose Epstein looked at Helena like she was insane. Tina felt her face go hot and covered her face with both hands. “This isn’t happening.”

    “Come now, let’s get this all out in the open,” Helena said breezily. “Do you find Tina attractive?”

    Mrs. Epstein set her tea cup down forcefully, the very picture of outraged morality. “Miss Peabody, in 30 years of providing nothing but the utmost in care for the children of several lovely families, there has never been so much as a whiff of any inappropriate behavior on my part, ever. I take pride in conducting myself with dignity and propriety, and I encourage you to take this issue up with any or ALL of my former employers. Please refer to my references.” 

    “Yes,” Helena said mildly. “You didn’t answer the question.”

    Ms. Epstein fixed Helena with an icy glare. “The answer to your question is no.”

    “I see,” Helena made a note on her tablet. “Thank you.”

    “So! Thanks for coming out; it was so nice meeting you,” Tina was standing up now and talking a little too fast, her face still hot with embarrassment. Not only had Helena insulted Ms. Epstein, but now Tina knew that she wasn’t attractive to the woman. Good to know. “This is all kind of preliminary; I’d like to have one last meeting with you so you can meet my partner, Bette, and our daughter Angelica. But thanks again for coming and answering all our questions. I’ll be in touch. I’m so sorry about this.”

    “It was a pleasure, dear,” Mrs. Epstein held her hand out to Tina and clasped it warmly when Tina shook her hand. “And don’t worry, I’ve handled my share of obnoxious children -” here she paused to look pointedly at Helena – “and if Angelica is as sweet and well-behaved as you describe her, and I’m sure she is, then she and I will get on just fine,” she reassured.

    5. So happy tht Tina finally talked with Bette as she should have done ages ago regarding the nanny. I wonder if Bette is really just afraid that someone might not be good to the children or did she have a bad experience with a nanny as a child? Interesting. But at least they have come to an understanding of it and know they can not do it all, it’s impossible. It’s not like they can not afford to hire a nanny. Another thing that bothers me about this pregnancy is tht Tina is “tired” so early in this pregnancy. Are vitamins in order or something else that keeps her energy up, pray that nothing is wrong with her already. She needs to see the doctor for that rundown feeling. Great chapter. PPS

    6. It’s like Hels was channeling Alice and Jenny both while she “helped” Tina during that interview, but the f-me pumps… that’s all Helena. As for Tina… girl, you’ve gotta learn to give Bette a chance to screw up first, she might surprise you by not doing it! Love the story, more soon, please! Thanks

    9. I am glad that Tina saw what she was doing even though it did take a disagreement to get the point across. And Bette is being a responsible parent in wanting the best for her children now she just needs to find a way to get that while allowing someone to help them. So glad that the girls made up and ended the day in a OH SO HAPPY way. :)

    10. I loved the beginning (the morning in the shower) and the end (bedtime). The middle was funny but scary at the same time. Helena sure knows how to scare someone. I loved how Mrs. E stood up to her.

    11. I thought that was a charming chapter and I’m still laughing at Helena’s interviewing techniques. “Are you attracted to Tina, Ms. Epstein?” But I’m glad Tina moved forward in getting some help…however misguided her efforts. Trying to do everything can really wreck a relationship.
