Melissa is a young politician who has just been given the task of caring for her niece and nephew after their parents go to jail for financial crimes. She realizes that she is not equipped to care for them alone, and after some deliberation, she decides to bring in a male nanny named Joey.

Joey is a laid-back and carefree guy who has just lost his job as a trader and is looking for something new. He's not exactly the most qualified candidate for the job, but Melissa is willing to take a chance on him. Joey quickly becomes a beloved figure in the household, winning over the kids and Melissa's friends and family.

In the first episode, titled "Pilot," Melissa's sister drops off her kids with Melissa, much to her surprise. She had no idea that her sister and brother-in-law were committing financial crimes and the last thing she expected was to be responsible for her niece and nephew. Faced with this challenge, Melissa seeks out a nanny and finds Joey, a candidate who impresses her with his charm and easy-going nature.

Joey moves in and quickly charms the kids with his fun-filled antics. However, Melissa is skeptical of him at first, finding him consistently irresponsible and unprofessional. The two bicker over their different approaches to parenting and management, with Melissa wanting everything to be done in an orderly and refined manner while Joey prefers to make everything more relaxed and spontaneous.

Despite their differences, Melissa and Joey grow closer as they learn to better understand one another. Over time, Melissa begins to trust Joey more and more, as she sees how he can make her niece and nephew happy despite their problems. Joey shows himself to be a loyal and reliable figure, even going beyond the call of duty to help the family avoid a crisis.

Throughout the first episode, viewers are introduced to the characters in this new family unit. Melissa's niece Lennox is a practiced rebel, whose intellectual curiosity fuels her thirst for boundary-pushing. Her brother, Ryder, is a goofy and lovable 13-year-old who has a hard time focusing on anything but sports. Melissa's work best friend, a woman named Allie, has her own issues with men, and has a hard time trusting Joey. Despite these obstacles, Melissa and Joey work together to create a functional and happy household.

In "Pilot," viewers see the evolution of Melissa and Joey's relationship, from awkward first meeting to eventual partnership. The show also introduces viewers to the quirks and dynamics of this new family unit, as everyone learns to work together to overcome the challenges they face. The episode is funny and heartwarming, with a mix of laughs and touching moments that will make viewers want to come back for more.
