The Caretaker

When seven-year-old Liam draws a picture of someone who makes him feel safe, his teacher, Kate, initially assumes it's an imaginary friend, but Liam insists otherwise—describing a caretaker who visits at night, even though his “Grandad” died before he was born. As strange occurrences in the flat begin to unfold, Kate grapples with her instincts and the unsettling presence that seems to be quietly watching over Liam. Blending warmth and the uncanny, the story explores themes of love, memory, and unseen guardians who refuse to let go.
