She was only supposed to be the nanny. Not the one who fixed everything. Lucy Chen needed a fresh start. Tim Bradford needed a new nanny. And his daughter? She just needed someone who wouldn't leave. What starts as a job quickly turns into something much messier-midnight snacks, backyard movie nights, awkward family dinners, accidental feelings, and one very loyal dog named Kojo. In a house full of heartbreak, Lucy becomes the light. But even sunshine burns when it gets too close. A slow-burn Chenford nanny AU filled with love, healing, girl talk, unexpected family, and found-forever. 60+ chapters of grumpy x sunshine, emotional softness, and Kojo chaos 🐾

Tim Bradford's life runs on structure. Former soldier, career cop, newly promoted Watch Commander-his days are measured in responsibility and routine. Lucy Chen is building a life of her own. As a social worker, she helps people navigate systems that weren't made to be kind, finding patience, humour, and quiet strength along the way. A blind date arranged by their mutual friend Angela Lopez brings them together. Neither expects more than one drink. They both decide one drink isn't enough. Over the course of a year, they let something unfamiliar take shape-dates that turn into habits, conversations that linger, and a relationship built deliberately, without rush. This is the story of two people from different worlds making room for something new-together. --- Feedback is appreciated.

Lucy goes on holiday with her family. What will happen?

An undercover operation forces Lucy and Tim to play a convincing couple, even though they can barely stand each other. The fighting is real. The tension is worse. And the longer the mission lasts, the harder it becomes to tell what's fake and what isn't.

They both realise the attraction has always been there.Later, when the party winds down, they end up back at Tim's place after sharing a ride.
