I came home from work expecting to see my daughter Lily and her babysitter Jessica, but the house was silent and empty. No laughter, no cartoons—just a chilling stillness. When Jessica didn’t answer her phone, panic took over. That’s when I remembered the AirTag I’d tucked into Lily’s pink backpack. One glance at the app showed her location: the airport.
I raced there in a panic, tracking the signal to the terminal. That’s where I saw them—Jessica, my ex Daniel, and his manipulative mother Brenda—with Lily’s backpack in hand. They were about to board a flight out of state without my consent. Brenda acted smug, Jessica looked confused, and they tried to spin it as a “fun beach trip.” But I knew it was a calculated attempt to take my daughter.
