What's it's about?

When divorced father of three Daniel Hillard is given limited visitation rights to his kids, he does what any of us would - don a latex face, a dress, a fake accent and cleavage, and goes to work for his ex-wife as a Scottish nanny. 

 

Once ensconced in his old house, he sets about sabotaging his wife's new relationship and finds a bond with his children that was lacking in his life as a man. 

 

An actually quite sweet, funny and gender-neutral tale which finds Daniel achieving a new lease of life, a brand new career and the love of his off-spring.

"We're his damn kids too!"
