The Good Sitter: A Psychological Thriller
I was offered a job that seemed perfect. I should have trusted my instincts.
As a medical student struggling under the weight of debt, I needed the income. The position sounded a well-paid, live-in night sitter for an elderly woman recovering from a fall.
Hawthorn House was beautiful but unnerving—quiet, isolated, and filled with the kind of silence that hums in the walls. The family seemed polished and polite. Marcus, the son, appeared warm and attentive. His wife, Juliet, kept strict rules and watched everything with cool precision.
My responsibilities were sit outside the patient’s door, check on her once an hour, and stay out of the family’s private affairs.
But nothing in this house is as straightforward as it seems.
The study is always locked. The details of the “fall” never quite add up. And the surveillance cameras feel less like security and more like confinement.
The longer I stay, the more I notice the patterns, the secrets, and the things no one wants me to see.
They believe I’m just the sitter—quiet, compliant, and grateful.
They don’t realize I’m paying attention.
And they don’t know what I’ve discovered behind their locked doors.
