Plot
editJennifer "Jenny" Morgan (Heidi Noelle Lenhart) is a young and intelligent working-class woman who just graduated from UCLA with an MBA. She is engaged to Charlie, a feckless man who intends to spend his summer traveling around Europe. After a job offer falls through, she finds herself searching and responds to a promising job ad for Oliver Caldwell's (Gregory Harrison) company, Caldwell Corporation International (CCI). She gets an interview and is led to believe that it is a copy room position, which she decides to move forward with, thinking it would be a foot into the company. Jenny gets the job and is surprised and overwhelmed when a car and its chauffeur show up at her door, telling her to pack and that she is to leave for Paris in a couple of hours. Through a series of errors, Jenny is baffled to discover that she was hired to be the au pair for Oliver's two children, Katie (Katie Volding) and Alex (Jake Dinwiddie).
