Episode 1

"Mama..."

A small boy, just over two years old, darted off, ignoring the nanny in pursuit behind him.

"Mama..." he shouted louder.

This caught the attention of a beautiful woman sitting with her potential beau, both turning to look at the young child.

"Mama..?" the man questioned Kaylin, now with the boy standing by the woman he was getting to know. "Who is this? Don’t tell me you have a child already?"

"No.. no! You’re misunderstanding, he’s—"

"Mama I want ice cweam..." Rex lisped a little.

"Oh my God, you actually have a child. I assumed you were unmarried." Feeling deceived, he hurried away from their meeting spot.

"Wait, Rafael! You’ve got it wrong." Kaylin chased after her blind date, determined not to fail again in love, after twenty-two blind date debacles all due to the meddling little Rex. "He's my nephew, I'm not married so how could I have a child?"

Rafael stopped, gazing at Kaylin with a cynical smile. "You expect me to believe that?"

"You must believe! If necessary, ask his nanny." Kaylin pointed to the trusted caregiver in charge of Rex.

Rafael glanced at the nanny, then back to the boy who had called Kaylin Mama. Instead of questioning the caregiver, Rafael chose to directly ask the young boy.

"Is she your mama?"

Rex eyed Aunt Kaylin, who was signaling to him, and he spontaneously waved back, drawing Rafael's attention behind him.

"Don’t be scared, tell me, is she your mama?" Rafael persisted, scrutinizing Kaylin sharply.

"Mama, my mama." Rex pointed to his auntie.

Kaylin roughly smacked her forehead upon hearing her nephew's answer. "You're in for it now, Rex," she thought angrily.

"See..!" Rafael exclaimed, disbelieving. A young and beautiful woman had dared to lie to him, claiming to be single whilst potentially having a child, even possibly a husband.

"Rafael, why would you ask him, my nephew always calls me mama. If you don’t believe it, ask the nanny."

"No need," Rafael declared, deciding to leave the place.

Kaylin could do nothing but watch him go, cursing her nephew under her breath for ruining another chance at love.

"Rex Meyer...!" Kaylin glared menacingly at her nephew.

Sensing Aunt Kaylin’s anger, Rex hid behind his nanny.

"Why do you always make Mama fail to get a boyfriend...." Instead of anger, Kaylin ended up crouching and bursting into uncontrollable tears, oblivious to everyone in the restaurant staring at her. "You're so frustrating, just like your Mommy..." she sobbed harshly.

"Don't cry Mama..." Rex gently stroked the hair of his aunt with affection.

Far from soothing her, Kaylin wept even harder. She lamented her cursed fate, burdened with a nephew resembling a little demon who constantly disrupted her life. Now, thanks to Rex, her tally of failed love attempts had hit twenty-three.

"Do you want your beautiful Mama to stay single forever?" she said sharply, while hugging her one and only nephew.

No matter how angry Kaylin was with Rex, she still loved her nephew dearly. She also knew that her failures in love were not entirely his fault. Blame her annoying brother-in-law who always taught Rex to call her mama so that Kaylin would end up taking care of Rex, reluctantly.
