"Are you Maya?" The snappily-dressed woman who opened the door asked.

"Yes," 22-year-old Maya Hummel-Anderson said.

"Hello! Welcome - I'm Colleen Morrow. Please, come inside."

"Thank you," Maya said, as she accepted Colleen's offer.

Colleen closed the door and showed Maya where she could put her shoes and bag.

"My husband, James, is picking up the kids from karate. They're so excited to meet you," Colleen explained, gesturing for Maya to sit in the living room.

"I'm excited to meet them! They're adorable," Maya said, looking at the family photo hanging in the foyer.

"Oh, thank you," Colleen said. "Can I get you anything to drink, Maya?" She asked, gesturing for Maya to sit once they had reached the family room.

"Oh, no - but thank you for the offer," Maya replied.

"So…the kids' old nanny, Charlotte, recently moved to Washington, so of course they need a new one. During the school year, you'd be picking them up from school - James or I will be able to drop them off. But now that it's summer - you'll have them from 7:30-4:00. I get off work at 3:30, so I'd get home in time to relieve you at 4:00. It would only be Monday through Friday and if you need time off - as long as you let us know at least a week in advance - we should be able to make it work. The only extracurricular the kids have right now is karate on Monday afternoons but swimming lessons will start up on Fridays in July. Any questions?" Colleen asked.

"How old are Ava and Tucker?" Maya asked.

"They just turned eight," Colleen answered.

Colleen asked if Maya had any other questions to which Maya said she didn't. So Colleen asked Maya to talk a little bit about herself.

"I grew up here in NYC and went to the University at Albany where I majored in Human Development and minored in English. In my spare time, I enjoy soccer, basketball, reading, and swimming. I've been babysitting since I was twelve and my first full-time job was at a daycare in Manhattan," Maya said.

"And I saw on your résumé that you attended Larkin Academy," Colleen said.

"Yes, that's right," Maya replied.

"I'm a Larkin graduate myself. In fact, that's where Ava goes. James attended Dearing Academy and Tucker does now. Hopefully you wouldn't mind picking them up from separate schools?" Colleen asked.

"Oh, no. They're not too far apart and it shouldn't be an issue," Maya replied.

"Excellent!" Colleen exclaimed.

The pair heard the sound of a garage door opening.

"Oh - there's James with the children!" Colleen stood up.

Soon, a man entered with two children wearing karate Gis.

"Ava, Tucker - this is Maya Hummel-Anderson. She's interested in being your new nanny! Maya this is Ava and Tucker, and my husband, James," Colleen introduced everyone and Maya shook hands with James, Ava, and Tucker.

"Wow! You're pretty!" Ava said.

"Oh, thank you Ava," Maya blushed.

James had a chance to ask Maya some questions and then he and Colleen left for two hours so Maya could do a "trial run" to see how things worked with her and the kids.

Maya, Ava, and Tucker had a blast. They played video games for the allotted thirty minutes, then went to the park. Afterwards, Ava and Tucker decided they wanted to draw and were impressed at Maya's drawing skills - she drew a unicorn for Ava and a racecar for Tucker.

When James and Colleen returned - Ava and Tucker were disappointed.

"Go somewhere else!" Tucker told his parents.

"We want to stay with Maya!" Ava added.

"Wow, Maya - the kids really like you," James chuckled.

"They sure do," Colleen agreed.

"How would you like to be their nanny?" James asked Maya.

"Please say yes!" Ava urged.

"Okay…yes!" Maya said excitedly. Ava and Tucker cheered.

The plan was for Maya to start in one week, as James and Colleen had some PTO they were using up that week to prepare for a weekend family trip to Wildwood. James and Colleen had also offered Maya an hourly rate that was five dollars more than what she had been willing to start at. Everything seemed like a dream come true.

That night, curiosity got the better of Maya and she pulled up Facebook. She wasn't sure what told her to look up Colleen on Facebook or if Colleen would even have a Facebook but Maya typed "Colleen Morrow" in the search bar and a profile with the family photo seen in the Morrow family foyer as the profile picture popped up first. Maya clicked on it.

The first thing she saw made her stomach drop.

Colleen had shared a post about pride month and captioned it, "this is disgusting! I can't wait for July so I can stop seeing these flags everywhere I go. What are they trying to teach our children?"

"They" of course was referring to members of the GLBTQ community, including Maya's fathers Kurt Hummel and Blaine Anderson.

Colleen's post had several angry reactions including one from James, who had added his own comment.

"Hate that we live in a society where Ava and Tucker are exposed to such immoral people."

It was late, so Maya was sure Colleen wouldn't answer the phone. But Maya didn't want to wait a second longer - she knew Ava and Tucker needed a nanny and it wasn't going to be her, so she wanted to give Colleen and James a heads up to find someone else.

Maya decided to text her.

"Hey, Colleen - this just isn't going to work out. I'm going to have to rescind my acceptance of your job offer."

Maya sent the text and spent the next few hours browsing Indeed for job opportunities.

The next morning she woke up to her phone ringing. It was Colleen. Maya answered.

"Maya! I just saw your text. So sorry to hear that - is something wrong?" Colleen asked.

"Yes," Maya replied. "I can't work for someone who thinks my dads - the ones who raised me in a safe and loving home and taught me to be kind and accepting - are immoral."

There was a long pause on Colleen's end.

"What?" She finally asked.

"You're going to have to find an employee who lines up better with your 'values' and I need to find an employer who lines up better with mine - because you and James certainly don't."

"Oh," Colleen replied. "Well, what -" but Maya didn't let her finish. She promptly hung up and blocked both Colleen's and James' numbers.

She felt bad because Ava and Tucker were so sweet and they had to be raised by such hateful people. She hoped against all hope that they would reject their parents' hate and if it turned out that one or both of them were not straight they'd find acceptance and love.

But money was not the most important thing to Maya. Maya suddenly threw her phone on her bed and raced out into the family room where her dads were watching TV.

"Well, good morning - " Blaine started before Maya threw her arms around his neck.

"Let's go to breakfast!" Maya said.

"Breakfast?" Kurt asked, as Maya gave him a hug as well.

"Yes - let's go to breakfast and then I will look for a job," Maya mumbled into his pajama shirt.

"Look for a job?" Blaine asked. "I thought you accepted that nanny position?" He looked at Kurt over Maya's head.

Maya stood up. "I did but then I told them I wasn't going to do it. I don't want to work for homophobes."

Blaine and Kurt exchanged another quizzical glance but figured Maya would expand on this statement later if she felt comfortable doing so.

So Maya threw on her Pride shirt and asked her dads to wear their matching ones, and the three headed for their favorite diner where Maya thought the pancakes tasted especially good.
