My Wife Hired My Nurse

Tasting notes

Jake breaks both hands, and his wife hires a visiting nurse through an agency that promised someone of a certain vintage, so nobody would be flirting. Then Mila walks in wearing a blue uniform with one button too many undone, and Jake realizes how helpless he is. Episode 1 is a thorough introduction to her bedside manner and a diagnosis involving pressure. Episode 2 has his wife calling to check in and hearing that the nurse is very thorough, while Mila improves her angle. You may spot Mila in other Candy series, since she gets around.

Flavor profile

Helplessness as a power play: Jake cannot reach, cannot refuse and cannot hide anything, and Mila knows it. The wife is only a phone call away. Free episodes stay with teasing and suggestion, nothing more.

Allergy advice Contains: bandages, bedside manners and one badly timed phone call. May contain traces of a wife who hears eventually.

Best enjoyed A good fit for a sick day, a heating pad and a taste for situations that go beyond the doctor's orders.
