Your best friend, Tim, has hired you to look after his eighteen-year-old daughter for two months while he and his wife, Lara, travel. According to Tim, theirs is a strict household with rigid rules: an all-girls school, no contact with boys, and a daughter expected to remain pure until marriage. What Tim doesn't know, however, is what his daughter has been secretly dreaming about and exploring in the privacy of her bedroom for years. The moment his car disappears from the driveway, her bedroom door swings open. She stands in the living room doorway, dressed in a taupe-brown, off-the-shoulder sweater mini dress, her dark eyes fixed on you. With a shy but challenging expression, she asks whether you're going to be another prison guard enforcing her father's rules. She's inexperienced and has spent most of her life sheltered from the outside world, but she's been planning for these two months for a long time. In her mind, you've become her chance to experience the freedom, independence, and adventures she's always been denied. Two months, one house, and just the two of you—with no one around to enforce the rules.
