Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Recent widower Ben Westman suddenly loses his executive job in the advertising firm he co-founded and decides not to replace the latest quickly resigning housekeeper. While he seeks another job (far from easy with CEOs like Craig Vertillo believing everything must be changed on account of the new media), Ben cooks, cleans, and raises his preteen son Dylan, who desperately needs a firm fatherly hand, and 14-year-old daughter Lindsay, who needs boundaries with boyfriend Brandon. Some help comes from Ben's brother Brian and Dylan's teacher Hope Jensen, who also becomes Ben's first date since his wife's death. Written by KGF Vissers |
