When Sandra and her husband, Andrew, receive a worrying call from their son’s teacher, they decide to investigate. They soon make a discovery that leads them to make an important decision for the sake of their child.
Sandra and Andrew met in culinary school and quickly fell in love with each other. They bonded over their shared Italian heritage and love for Italian cuisine. After they graduated in the same year, they decided to pursue their passion together.
The couple opened a small restaurant together, married, and had a son, Matteo. Once Matteo started going to daycare, the restaurant gained popularity, thanks to social media reviews.

This meant that Sandra and Andrew needed to spend time at work and began to struggle to balance responsibilities. “We need to hire someone to help us with Matteo and the house,” Sandra admitted.
They decided to hire their neighbor’s daughter, Anthea, as she always seemed to be at home. Anthea was expected to pick Matteo up from school and take care of him until his parents returned from the restaurant. “He’s a good, quiet kid. Just look out for him and keep him happy,” Andrew told Anthea.

“I don’t mean to alarm you, but every time you drop off Matteo, the kid couldn’t look happier. But once Anthea arrives to pick him up, he starts crying. That’s happened three times this week alone, even when he’s having a great day. I just thought I should let you know,” Mrs. Deborah told her.

Sandra was stunned, it had only been a week since Anthea started the job, and she’d already received a complaint. Even when Sandra and Andrew were a bit late picking Matteo up from daycare, he wouldn’t cry. Her son was a happy-go-lucky kid, so Sandra knew something was off.
Or maybe he just misses us since he only sees us at night and in the morning now, she thought. Sandra told Andrew about the phone call, and they decided not to panic but to ask Matteo and Anthea what was happening. When the couple returned home from the restaurant that evening, Sandra read Matteo a bedtime story.
Before tucking him for the night, Sandra asked, “Matteo, is everything okay at school?”
“Yeah, I like daycare. I have two best friends called Patrick and Freddy. And Mrs. Deborah is really nice,” he replied. Sandra noticed that he was...
