On the verge of a domestic breakdown, Vero and her husband Shane get a foreign nanny to help with their sons, a woman from the Philippines named Ligaya. With this set-up, Angie Abdou tackles the issue of international nannies with humor and insight; draws an intriguing portrait of two women from two very different cultures; and, takes satirical look at contemporary love, marriage, and parenthood by laying bare the sense of entitlement and superiority at the heart of upper-middle-class North American existence.
