As befits a native of a good and respected American white family, Jeff sought to achieve success and show good results both in studies and in sports. He was moderately social and knew how to get along with his peers, but at the same time he began to look down on other children from childhood, with a sense of his own mental superiority. While other children were playing their stupid childish games, Jeff was already reading the encyclopedic literature available to him on history, sociology, and economics. Jeff had critical thinking and therefore he critically watched at stupid social stereotypes, propagated by many children about the so-called “human values”, such as friendship, family, devotion, generosity etc which seemed to him too naive and not relevant to the facts of a cruel real life. He himself quickly came to the conclusion that an intelligent person really needs to strive to achieve benefits "in fact" - that which benefits, ensuring the well-being and prosperity of their owner. Jeff, being an inspired example of his father, a successful lawyer, an employee of a prestigious law firm, considered wealth and high social status to be real "benefits in fact."
Jeff also hated the holidays, because they distract from serious affairs; he was especially annoyed with Halloween and Christmas. And if everything is clear with Halloween, - this is really the top of stupidity - what a perverted pleasure to dress up in stupid costumes, posing in a stupid and ridiculous way?!
As for Christmas, it is necessary to explain especially; the whole point is that Jeff had been afraid of Santa Claus when he was a kid, he did not like the idea that a strange type could enter his house through a chimney while he was sleeping. Really, why are people afraid of ghosts? It is not because they are evil or capable of causing real harm. According to most legends, there is no more harm from a ghost than from a hologram. So why? Just because it's something otherworldly. Supernatural. And otherworldly horror is stronger than any materialistic fear. Santa was for Jeff the embodiment of everything magical, mystical, illogical, anti-scientific, irrational ... Therefore, it was a great relief for Jeff to realize with age that in fact no Santa exists. Since then, Jeff had come to the conclusion that miracles and magic did not exist. On peers trying to play with him in some kind of fairy tales (and, it seems, they really believed in magic), Jeff looked with disgust as ignorant savages. At first, he nobly tried to explain to them that there are no miracles in the world, but they, apparently, were too stupid to succumb to enlightenment… At the same time, Jeff was not a science-obsessed nerd. Unlike real nerds, he was not afraid of bullies, because he respected sport, he had good physical training and he could physically defend himself…
Jeff wanted to follow in his father's footsteps and becoming a lawyer too. After leaving school, Jeff entered a prestigious college of law, located in a big city, and therefore he left his family and went to a city to get an education at this college.
However, Jeff continued to maintain contact with his parents and his father regularly sent him money for life and study. Jeff showed himself as a good and successful student, but in the penultimate year of his college education, unexpected misfortune prevented his studies.
The law firm where Jeff's father worked was shut down because of a corruption scandal and, therefore, his father, who lost his job, could not send money anymore to Jeff for life and study for some time.
Jeff was sure that his father, as a good highly qualified lawyer, could find another job; but because of the tarnished reputation of the firm where Jeff’s father worked earlier, Jeff’s father would need some time to get things right and he’d be hard pressed to find a new job right away, it would take some time... Jeff didn't want to leave his studies for long. He looked through advertisements for various part-time jobs, but these part-time jobs did not produce fast high earnings. After some searching, Jeff found on the Internet a job advertisement that interested him very much. The announcement said that an urgent need for a temporary nanny for the 8-year-old Catherine Rodd, the daughter of businessman Bill Rodd and his wife Linda Rodd. Mr. Rodd himself went missing more than a year ago under very mysterious circumstances; one day Mr. Rodd simply disappeared, as if he had evaporated; no trace of him, dead or alive, was found - he disappeared without a trace and, therefore, all his financial assets, all his property and all his business were officially transferred to the management of his wife Linda Rodd.
Jeff hated stupid little children, but he was very interested in this job offer because Linda Rodd offered such an amount of money for every day of sitting with Katherine that he could not have earned in other part-time jobs for a month.. Jeff saw in this job offer a good opportunity to settle all his financial problems for several months in advance; all that was required of him was just a few days to mess with Katherine and then he would earn such an amount of money that he would have enough for the next several months of a comfortable life (and by then his father's Affairs would probably get better and he could send Jeff again money for living and studying). Jeff responded to this job offer, and yet, this job offer was unusual and that worried Jeff. Fearing a dirty trick, in a personal meeting with Mrs. Rodd, Jeff, explaining his desperate need for money, asked her why she was willing to pay such excessively big money for sitting with her daughter? Mrs. Rodd replied that she herself was now very busy with business affairs, which she had inherited from her suddenly disappeared husband and therefore she herself could not mess around Katherine, but at the same time, as a loving and caring mother, she could not leave her beloved daughter unattended. The previous nanny for Katherine retired, and the newly hired nanny suddenly fell ill and until she recovers, someone had to replace her and sit with Katherine. Therefore, she is ready to urgently hire Jeff for such a large daily payment for a few days, until the new full-time nanny for Catherine recovers from her illness in order to resume her work duties. For Jeff, this proposal was very tempting; rarely is it possible to earn in just a few days, as in a few months. To finally dispel all his doubts, Jeff was offered an official labor contract, which stipulated a daily payment for him for each day of work. However, Jeff was quickly disappointed in his new job, because, unfortunately, Katherine had a school vacation which made the working day of Jeff was absolutely abnormal; Jeff had to constantly be with Katherine and he did not find a single free minute for himself. He had to monitor Katherine's diet, help Katherine dress, walk, play with her, and help Katherine with her homework and school projects that she was given during the vacations. It was also Jeff's responsibility to make daily written reports to Mrs. Rodd on how their day went with Katherine. However, most of all, Jeff was annoyed by the peculiarity of Katherine that she turned out to be a very dreamy child with a lively personality and very rich, as he thought, imagination. Moreover, it seems that Katherine did not distinguish reality from fiction and sincerely believed in the silly fairy-tales invented by her. Katherine could constantly tell Jeff all kinds of fables about the miracles and magic that Jeff had so despised since his childhood. Katherine, for example, claimed that her mommy was a real sorceress and that when Katherine grows up big and turns sixteen, she will also receive magical powers and will also become a real full-fledged sorceress, just like her beloved mommy. It is clear that all these naive children's inventions very annoyed Jeff with his rational perception of the surrounding reality. He constantly wanted to tell Katherine that all her stories were f**king nonsense that she had to get out of her head. However, Jeff restrained himself, reminding himself that he tolerates the company of this silly little girl and indulges her only because of the need to earn money, and that after suffering only a few days, he will be able to return to his previous life, being financially secure and that the money he received will be enough for the next few months of a comfortable and carefree life. Nevertheless, the days passed, and the new full-time nanny for little Catherine never appeared ... and now, when it was already almost two weeks, and the money earned by Jeff, according to his own calculations, he should have been enough for almost a year, he demanded a reckoning, saying that he was tired and he's gonna get resigned. However, Mrs. Rodd refused Jeff's request for his resignation, saying that she and her daughter Catherine liked him and she was not going to let him leave their house, but wanted him to become a full-time nanny for Katherine. And so that Jeff would not dare to leave her house without permission, Mrs. Rodd, being a hereditary witch, used her magic, turning Jeff into a middle-aged Latin American woman… So now Jeff, if he (or rather, she) does not want to be detained in a prison for immigrants and then be forcibly deported from the Most Democratic Country in the world into f**king Latin America, Carmen will have to reconsider her plans for life at least for the next few years...
Jeff/Carmen is stuck as the completely, 100% Latin American woman and His/her chances to become a guy again are absolutley minimal. So, if (s)he does not want to be deported, the only choice without alternatives for him/her is to stay in Mrs. Rodd's house as a prisoner, to be a good nanny for Katherine and to fulfill the other whims of Mrs. Rodd and her daughter;) 😉
