While numerous screenplays have been written about OFWs caring for foreigner's families, this screenplay explores the relationship between a yaya who cares for the child of another family, because of the yaya phenomenon while at the same time raising her own son. Young parents may feel the need to employ yayas to give them more focus in the workplace so that they can provide for their household. At the same time, since the parents are busy with their careers, the yaya, who has more time at home may develop an attachment with the child assigned to her, which may become even stronger than the parent's relationship.
