Sew Matcha in Love
Kerry Evelyn

The last time I was within armโs reach of Zaki Marsch, team prankster extraordinaire, he wrecked my carefully replicated vintage gown. Since then, Iโve avoided himโand hockeyโlike the plague.
But the obnoxious defenseman has morphed into a distinguished ginger-bearded dad who dotes on his girls and wears tutus on command. The attention-seeking entertainer is still there, but this new softer version has me in knots โฆ
Now, out of the blue, heโs asking me to be the nanny for his adorable 5-year-old twins. The offer is tempting. The girls are sweet, and Zaki insists heโll be traveling with his team half the time.
Iโve laid down the ground rules: My home, my turf, my way. No pranks, no chaos, and definitely no melting my resolve with that grin and little dogs trailing at his heels. Heโs everything Iโm notโloud, extroverted, and constantly in motion. Iโm a small-town introvert whoโd rather spend my evenings sewing Regency gowns or reading than watching hockey.
But between backyard rink lessons, school book fairs, and at-home ballet recitals led by his girls, Zakiโs charm starts to break through my defenses. And those stolen momentsโpuppies in his lap, his girls giggling through bedtime storiesโare making it harder to remember why I donโt like him.
Itโs just a job, right? Easy. Totally professional. Iโve got this.
