Worse, Mary also happens to be the sole witness to the sudden and rather dramatic demise of a woman who appeared to be minding her own business... while floating past on a magical umbrella. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs hiding places go, Mary's current situation is both unexpected and deeply inconvenient: She appears to have accidentally become a nanny. She's not quite sure how, but the pay is decent, and the disguise has held - so far.\u003cbr\u003eUnfortunately, the children are hideous. A peculiar man named Albert with a questionable accent has started following her about. The umbrella is once again stolen. And there is, for reasons best not examined too closely, a penguin named Fishy Dave living in the nursery. The fact that it sounds just like a donkey is neither here nor there. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAnd if all that wasn't bad enough, she keeps bursting into song. Against her will. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIt's a chase! It's a heist! It's a nanny-led crime spree with jazz hands! \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eHold on to your parasols, it's...
