A young woman arrives at a mansion dressed in casual clothes to apply for a position as a night nanny for someone named John. She is immediately met with mockery from the woman interviewing her, who dismisses her as a schemer unfit for the role. As security moves to escort her away, the woman desperately pleads for a chance, claiming she can make a parrot fall asleep. Her pleas are ignored, and she fears losing the job and the means to pay medical bills for someone named Anna. The situation shifts when an older woman collapses, and a doctor diagnoses a seizure requiring a sedative. Seeing this as her last opportunity, the applicant intervenes, shouting that it's not a seizure and stopping the treatment.
