Notes & Requirements
Summary: "Tanner Quimby needs a place to live. Preferably one where she can continue sitting around in sweatpants and playing video games nineteen hours a day. When an opportunity to work as a live-in caregiver for an elderly woman falls into her lap, she takes it. Louise Wilt's daughter demands that she have a full-time nanny living with her, though she can still walk fine, finish her daily crossword puzzle, and pour the two fingers of vodka she drinks every afternoon. Tanner soon begins to notice weird things. Like, Louise keeps her garden shed locked up tighter than a prison. And the local news is fixated on an international jewelry thief that looks eerily like Louise."
