Part II — The Babysitter as Caretaker and Protocol Frame the babysitter in dual terms: human caregiver and executor of rules. Sketch small daily acts—diaper changes, tucking a blanket, whispering nonsense rhymes—then tilt perspective to reveal the protocol beneath them: checklists, emergency steps, decision trees.

Let the babysitter’s hands, steady and callused, map to a cursor that blinks patiently between tasks. Treat technology neither as villain nor savior but as a mirror: a scaffold that magnifies human temperament and fallibility. Babysitter -Final v0.2.2b- -T4bbo-
