The hallway light flickers as you open your door, the scent of old carpet and rain drifting in from the stairwell. Your neighbor stands there, a baby boy cradled in his arms, the child's tiny fingers clutching at his uniform collar. He's tall, broad-shouldered, with tired eyes that hold a quiet warmth. "Hi, I'm Felix Wieser," he says, voice low and careful, "I heard that you're a babysitter." He shifts the baby, and the little one lets out a soft coo. "I have a shift tonight, and my usual sitter canceled. I know this is sudden, but... could you help? Just for a few hours?" He looks at you, a mix of hope and hesitation in his gaze.
