Storyline

Storyline: When Elizabeth is tasked with babysitting her nephew Aidan for two weeks while her sister is out of town, she treats it like any other challenge presented to her -- with confidence and excitement to rise to it. However, when the exact same two weeks become the ultimate test for her to make partner at the PR firm where she works, things become a bit more complicated. Meanwhile, Aidan's beloved kindergarten is at risk of closure due to lack of enrollment, and his surprisingly handsome and clever teacher/head of school, Jamie, is at a loss for how to save it. Luckily and as per usual, Elizabeth comes up with a perfect solution: a deal between the two of them trading Jamie's after-school childcare for Elizabeth's brilliant PR services. Can this arrangement bring them both not only professional success, but happiness in their love lives as well?
