21-year-old New York University student becomes a nanny to a family on
the Upper East Side who turns out to be the family from hell.The story of
the journey of Annie Braddock, a young woman from a working-class
neighborhood in New Jersey, struggling to understand her place in the
world. Fresh out of college, she gets tremendous pressure from her nurse
mother to find a respectable position in the business world although
Annie would prefer to trade in her blackberry for an anthropologist's
field diary. Through a serendipitous meeting, Annie ends up in the elite
and ritualistic culture of Manhattan's Upper East Side--as remote from
Annie's suburban New Jersey upbringing as life in an Amazon tribal
village. Choosing to duck out of real life, Annie accepts the position as
a nanny for a wealthy family, referred to as simply "the X's." She
quickly learns that life is not very rosy on the other side of the tax
bracket, as she must cater to the every whim of Mrs. X and her precocious
son Grayer, while attempting to avoid the formidable Mr. X. Life becomes
even more complicated when Annie falls for a gorgeous Park Avenue Hottie,
and she's forced to explore her identity as never before.
