The premise
Here’s the bit.
When the family’s usual nanny cannot come to work, Mrs Montgomery tells Thomas and Chloe that she has hired a replacement from an agency. The children are alarmed by the change, and their mother makes matters worse by announcing that the new nanny comes from the north of England.
Gina arrives in good spirits and chats about her journey while Mrs Montgomery struggles to respond. In the kitchen, the family treats her Geordie accent as a threat. Gina offers to clear up and make tea as the mother’s attempts to reassure her children collapse into panic.
