4	''The Nanny Affair'' is one of many stories in the ''VisualNovel/ChoicesStoriesYouPlay'' collection.
5
6	A babysitter, a sexy boss and two twins... Problems and NotSafeForWork fun await them.
7	----
8	!!''The Nanny Affair'' and ''The Dalton Affair'' contains examples of:
9
10	* AccidentalMisnaming: Sofia seems completely unable to tell the twins apart, often calling Mickey "Mason" and vice versa.
11	* AlliterativeFamily: One of the twins' friends from school is called Liliana, and her parents are Lana and Landon.
12	* AlwaysSecondBest: Robin is implied to feel this way towards Sam.
13	-->'''Robin''': Sam always had everything handed to him/her growing up, no questions asked. The important job, the cute kids, the fancy fiancee... But me? I’ve had to work for everything and it’s still not enough.
14	* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Sam sees Robin as this due to their womanizing habits.
15	* AnotherSideAnotherStory: ''The Dalton Affair'', released in mid-2023 for some VIP players (and for ''all'' VIP players in September 2023), is a retelling of the story from Sam's perspective.
16	* BadlyBatteredBabysitter: This is implied to be the case with Sam’s past nannies who have had trouble handling the rambunctious Mickey and Mason.
17	* BecomingTheMask: [[spoiler: While Jordan was hired by Robin to spy on Sam and Anna, they admit they genuinely enjoyed being Mickey and Mason's nanny.]]
18	* BettyAndVeronica: The dependable Anna as Betty and aloof Sofia as Veronica to Sam’s Archie. According to Sofia in Book 3, Chapter 8, she's also the Veronica to Addison's Betty.
19	* BigBad: [[spoiler: Sofia in Book 1, Robin in Book 2, Addison in Book 3.]]
20	* BirthdayEpisode:
21	** Book 1, Chapter 3 is one for Sam.
22	** Book 3, Chapter 16 is one for Mickey and Mason.
23	* CastFullOfGay: Anna is AlwaysFemale, Sam is gender-customizable, and Sam's sibling Robin is the same gender as Sam. As such, if Sam is female, then Anna, Robin, Sam's fiancee Sofia, and Sam herself (as well as Addison, Sam's ex-wife) are all WLW[[note]]women-loving-women[[/note]]. As of Book 2, this also applies to [[spoiler: Jordan]]. Lampshaded in Book 2, Chapter 6 when Anna's publicist tells her that everyone sees her as "the other woman" after Sam left Sofia to be with her, and Anna counters that ''everyone involved'' is a woman if Sam is female.
24	* ConstantlyCurious: Mickey and Mason who love running (often disastrous) experiments.
25	* ContentWarnings: Right from the start, the story says the book contains some mature sexual content compared to usual Choices books.
26	* EroticDream:
27	** The story starts with Anna having sex with Sam Dalton like it's part of the interview... and then the alarm clock wakes up, knocking her out of the fantasy.
28	** Book 2 opens with Anna having one involving the new nanny, Jordan.
29	** And in Book 3 Anna has one of her wedding night with Sam, only for Addison to interrupt.
30	** Also, ''The Dalton Affair'' reveals Sam had one after they first interviewed Anna.
31	* EveryoneHasStandards: [[spoiler: After Robin is defeated in Book 2, they hand Anna and Sam the means to take Sofia out in the form of a sex tape of her with Robin. The couple however thinks it's going too far and agree to destroy it, while Anna informs Sofia about it.]]
32	* ForbiddenRomance: Sam at the start is already engaged to Sofia.
33	* ForgivenButNotForgotten: [[spoiler: After Addison drops the custody case, Anna can choose to forgive her, but makes it clear there will be no third chances.]]
34	* FriendToAllChildren: Anna appears to be this, getting along with Mickey and Mason while past nannies have failed.
35	* GenderBlenderName: Sam Dalton. Their full name is Samuel Dalton if male, and Samantha Dalton if female. Robin and Jordan also, whether they are male or female.
36	* HelloInsertNameHere: As with every Choices book, you can name your character, the default name being Anna Schuyler.
37	* HeyThatsMyLine: When Tony arrives at the country club meeting with his family, he says, "Don't worry, everyone. The party can start now." Later, when Robin arrives...
38	-->'''Robin:''' Don't worry everyone, the party can start now!\
39	'''Tony:''' That was my line!
40	* {{Hypocrite}}: Sofia gets really mad about Anna and Sam's affair, [[spoiler: yet she ends up having her own relationship with Robin]].
41	* MarriageOfConvenience: Sam and Sofia agreed to marry not for love, but so they can merge their companies.
42	* MarryTheNanny: Book 3 revolves around planning Sam and Anna's wedding, which finally takes place in [[GrandFinale Chapter 20]].
43	* MamaBear[=/=]PapaWolf: Sam is incredibly protective Mickey and Mason, and even gets angry with Anna when they find she took them on the subway.
44	* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler: After the twins run away and Anna helps find them, Addison realizes she's not the one who truly cares for those kids and drops the custody case.]]
45	* ParentalAbandonment: Oddly enough, Anna's parents aren't even ''mentioned'' in the book, not even when she is getting married. On the other hand both of Sam's and Addison's parents, along with Sophia's father are present in the story. It is not clear whether Anna's parents died, live far away or that they are on bad terms.
46	* PronouncingMyNameForYou: Jordan ''Le'' [[note]]It's pronounced "lay"[[/note]] does this, most likely so that readers can avoid confusion with the ''VisualNovel/HighSchoolStory'' original MC, whose default name is Jordan ''Lee''.
47	* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: [[spoiler: Anna has the chance to give Robin this in a premium option in Book 2, Chapter 18, which also gets them fired.]]
48	* RedOniBlueOni: Sam's sons, Mason and Mickey are introduced as such with Mason in red and Mickey in blue, though the personalities are inverted.
49	* TheReveal: In Book 2, Chapter 16, Anna discovers that [[spoiler:Jordan is working for Robin]]. As a result, [[spoiler:Sam fires Jordan in the next chapter]].
50	* RichBitch: Sofia, who is condescending and out-of-touch. Upon first meeting Anna, she refers to her as the help and expects her to help with the engagement party—despite it not being part of her job obligation. Depending on Anna's race, it can also come off as racist sometimes.
51	* TheRunaway: [[spoiler: In Book 3, Chapter 17, Mickey and Mason run away from home due to thinking they're making the adults miserable from the custody case.]]
52	* SequelHook: [[spoiler: Book 2 ends with Sam and Anna getting engaged when the mysterious woman from two chapters ago reappears. The twins recognize her as their supposedly dead mom, Addison.]]
