In the first lines of episode 1, the sitter passes on the wife's offer to help herself to anything in the house, and within about a minute she is the one steering the conversation. The wife who hired her has gone out for the evening. In this Candy Shorts series, Sophia, an adult woman with an hourly job and a boyfriend, has the run of the house, and the husband, whom she calls Mr. Owen, has the evening alone with her.
Two free episodes on the clock
I played both on a free Candy.ai account, and the progress bar on each one stops at about a minute, which is enough for a setup, a joke about the hourly rate and a hook.
A boyfriend on the line, a wife out till midnight
Bedtime is already done when the episode opens, and Sophia says she is very good at her job. Her boyfriend calls and gets told she cannot talk, and when Mr. Owen asks if that was her boyfriend, she answers "For now." Learning that the wife is out until midnight, she points out that she is paid by the hour. The episode ends on an invitation to put her to work.
Oops, and a night at Jen's
Episode 2 starts with the clock already running. When Mr. Owen says he is married, Sophia answers that she has a boyfriend and calls that the fun part. Then the wife phones to say she is staying at Jen's tonight, and she tells him to get his work done and pay the sitter for the whole night. After an oops, the two say each other's names, and her closing line settles the schedule: the wife is not coming home, and the sitter's pay runs until morning.
Banter by the hour, kept to talk
Spice level 4, Fiery, is my rating, and it reflects the premise more than the two free episodes. Both stay verbal: banter about the hourly rate, a boyfriend who interrupts and no nudity or sex. Sophia is an adult woman, and Mr. Owen and his wife are adults too. The scale behind the number is explained in the guide to the levels.
The captions name Sophia, Mr. Owen and Jen, and that is the whole list. The wife and the boyfriend come in through phone calls, which keeps the story to one house and one conversation.
The cost of the whole night
Finishing the series on Candy Shorts takes 36 tokens: three paid episodes at 12 each. I Couldn't Say No to Our Babysitter is the other sitter story on the shelf, with the same five episodes and the same 12-token rate, so price will not break the tie. Here the wife's call is what hands the sitter the night.
My Wife's Dance Instructor is another New-badge series at 12 tokens where the wife is missing from the room, if you want a second option. What a free account opens is covered on its own page, and the other series, with prices and levels, are in the series reviews.
Clocking in or clocking out
Watch it if
- Banter that keeps count of the hours sounds like your kind of tension.
- You like a setup that two phone calls can bend.
- You want a recent Candy AI Shorts arrival at the 12-token rate.
Skip it if
- You need nudity or sex before the paywall: episodes 1 and 2 have neither.
- You want the wife in the story, since in the free pair she only checks in by phone.
