We hired her to keep our daughter safe.

My husband didn’t understand why I wanted to return to work, especially while our daughter is still so young. She’s only four weeks old. But I’m at risk of losing my job if I don’t.

Bree Miller is the perfect answer — she’s young, bright and adores Delilah.

We go for a walk in Central Park on Bree’s first day. I’m taking a call when I hear a loud, high-pitched shriek. My heart races in my chest as I turn the corner.

A man dressed head-to-toe in black has his fingers wrapped around the handle of Delilah’s stroller.

Bree is fighting him off. As I approach, he flees. Bree is left with a dark bruise on her face and her eye is swollen shut. They tried to kidnap my daughter.

Then, threatening photos arrive on my doorstep.

Someone is after me and my family. And I can’t help but wonder if the real danger is outside. Or if I’ve invited her into my home.
