  • I’ll disagree about age. At 23, the pre-frontal cortex is still developing and won’t be finished until around 25.

    It’s responsible for:

    • Executive functions (planning, decision-making, problem-solving)
    • Impulse control
    • Emotional regulation
    • Social interactions and behavior

    There is a distinct imbalance between someone in their 60’s and someone in their early 20’s. I’m not saying it can’t be carefully and respectfully navigated, but it has to be acknowledged and accounted for.

    It doesn’t sound like that happened here.

    Then we have the power dynamic of a celebrity who is also your employer. Add in a healthy dose of fictive kinship due to the live-in nature of a nanny and you’re in a situation rife with the potential for abuse.
