Molly Applegate epitomizes the term poor-little-rich girl. Her parents neglected her; then, when they died, they left her extremely wealthy only if she works 10 months a year or gets married. Defiant by nature, she takes menial jobs and flits across the world until she gets her cousin Janie, from This Must Be Love (2003), involved with one of her schemes. Janie takes Molly's jobs, and Molly works at Janie's day-care center. Molly loves working with children, and when Broadway producer Dominic Longstreet asks her to babysit his niece and nephew for two weeks, Molly agrees. Dom is supposed to be on vacation and staying with the children, but, instead, this workaholic uses the time to work on his latest play, until he gets sidetracked watching the incredibly attractive, and mutually attracted, babysitter. When things progress beyond a fling, Molly, still bedeviled by her traumatic childhood, goes into flight mode.
