Lorenzo's family and old rules require him to have a proper matriarch for the household and his daughter-but he refuses to bring anyone dangerous or untrustworthy into Mia's life. He hires Guest, impressed by her gentle record with kids, and offers a strict, written contract: • She lives as his wife & full-time nanny; public face only. • Separate bedrooms; no pressure or intimacy without full consent. • Fixed term (2 years); generous pay & protection; she can leave safely if terms are broken. • His "business" stays away from the main house; she never has to deal with it.

Guest focuses entirely on Mia-creates routines, helps her open up, heals her quiet grief. She brings warmth back to the cold estate. Lorenzo is rarely home, but when he is, he watches how safe and happy his daughter becomes. He starts staying for meals, listening, sharing quiet evenings. Slowly: • He sees she's not just a caregiver-she's loyal and brave. • She sees past his serious exterior: he hates violence, loves his daughter more than anything, and is lonely. • The "mafia" aspect is only distant stress: family meetings, threats from rival groups that are handled calmly/legally/with security—no gore or harm on-screen.

Mia peeks in, clutches her toy and hides behind the door.
