A teenager on the run with a baby, who needs to lie low because she is pursued by authorities for reasons we haven't yet been told? THAT is interesting.
Well, the blurb isn't just about a teenager getting a nanny job. It's about what goes wrong at that job.

I can't see how that would work.

Seventeen-year-old Annie Rebarchek is on the run with a baby. The police are closing in on her.

I wouldn't know how to do it.
