The story

Three months after giving birth, Anna breaks her leg. Her husband Mark hires the city's most sought-after maternity nurse, paying a five-thousand-dollar deposit, because the nurse also has a background in physical therapy and rehabilitation. Anna's mother, Sharon, is ready to hire the nurse on the spot until Anna stops her, warning that Aunt Brenda will try to take her.

Aunt Brenda arrives and begs Sharon to give the nurse to her daughter-in-law, whose milk hasn't come in and whose premature baby is fragile. Sharon urges Anna to give the nurse away, calling her selfish and insisting that saving a life matters more. Aunt Brenda even suggests Anna pay the nurse's salary herself. Anna refuses, citing the exclusive contract, a ten-thousand-dollar cancellation fee, and possible fraud, and Aunt Brenda storms out.

When Mark comes home, he defends Anna, and Anna has him read aloud a notebook recording years of injustices her mother forced on her for the sake of relatives. Sharon, humiliated, retreats, and that night a voice message from Aunt Brenda arrives, full of entitled greed.
