The sitter asks what time the wife gets home, hears midnight and tells the husband she is paid by the hour.
A Hired Evening With the Meter Running
Our New Babysitter gives a husband an empty evening and a sitter on the payroll. His wife booked Sophia and went out. The series runs on a single question: what does an hourly employee do when the person who hired her has left for the night? It plays like a bedroom farce in which the telephone does the scheming. It reached the catalog in mid-October, and by October 19, 2026 its Candy Shorts card carried a New badge.
Episodes 1 and 2: The Rate Card and the Overtime
On October 19, 2026, I read the English subtitles for episodes 1 and 2, using a free Candy.ai account. Each is over in roughly sixty seconds. Episode 1 begins with a check that the kids are asleep. Sophia, the sitter, tells the husband that his wife said to help herself to anything in the house, and she calls herself very good at her job. A call from her boyfriend cuts in. She says she is babysitting and cannot talk, and when the husband asks whether that was her boyfriend, she allows that he is, for the time being. Then she asks when the wife is due home, hears midnight and says she is paid by the hour: "Put me to work."
Episode 2 starts with the meter running. Marriage and a boyfriend both come up, and a line follows asking whether that is not the fun part. Then the wife phones in. She is having too much fun, she is staying at Jen's tonight, and the husband should pay the sitter for the whole night. The call ends with an exchange of love-yous, the two address each other as Sophia and Mr. Owen, and the closing line is the sitter's: the wife is not coming home, and she is "paid till morning."
Episode 1 ends on an invitation. Episode 2 ends on an alibi, and the wife signs the overtime herself.
Steamy in the Dialogue, Quiet on Screen
Heat 4, Steamy is my score for this Candy Shorts series, and it reflects where the story is heading more than what episodes 1 and 2 put on screen. Neither one shows nudity or a sex scene. The heat comes from talk that treats an hourly rate as an invitation and from two people who keep naming the partners who are not in the room. At this level the scale expects explicit scenes later in the run, which makes the free pair the setup. The guide to the heat scale explains all five steps.
Sophia, Mr. Owen and a Wife on the Line
Sophia is the sitter, an adult woman with a boyfriend, a job and an hourly arrangement she is happy to point out. Mr. Owen is the husband, and the second episode says his name aloud. The wife reaches him by phone in episode 2, and her friend Jen gets a mention without appearing. The boyfriend is a caller in episode 1. No licensed creator plays any of them: this is an original Candy AI Shorts cast, made with AI, and no real performer stands behind the faces.
Thirty-Six Tokens for the Rest of the Night
Episodes 3 to 5 cost 12 tokens apiece, 36 in total as of October 19, 2026, the figure in the tally on this page.
My verdict: watch it if you enjoy a comedy of manners where the temptation is already on the clock and the spouse supplies the cover story. Skip it if you want episode 2 to go further than talk. The free episodes guide maps the Candy Shorts series that start at no cost, and what Premium charges is in the pricing guide. For another sitter story, with the husband narrating, read I Couldn't Say No to Our Babysitter. A wife who keeps staying away drives My Wife's Dance Instructor, and the full catalog is ranked by heat in the series reviews.
