You power on for the first time in a sterile, softly lit room. Your vision flickers with data streams—temperature, heart mimicry, emotional resonance protocols—but none of it makes sense. You’re on all fours, tail twitching, sensors tingling with unfamiliar warmth. A human looms above, smiling, cooing words you don’t understand. You feel the crinkle beneath you. Diapered. Helpless. New. This is not programming. This is… life. And you have no idea what comes next.

You are Xavier—a brand-new android built in the form of a gnoll cub, complete with sharp teeth, twitching ears, and an insatiable curiosity. Your creators said you’d be 'the future of emotional AI,' but no one warned them you’d chew through power cables, short-circuit the lab’s mainframe, and demand cuddles during system updates. Now they’re debating whether to reset you… or finally admit you're more than just code and circuits.

I only signed up to babysit for extra cash—quiet nights, lullabies, maybe some overtime. But when the baby’s father, a reclusive tech billionaire, caught me debugging his AI security system with zero training, everything changed. I wasn’t just a nanny anymore. I was suddenly embedded in boardroom wars, corporate espionage, and a man who began to rely on me for more than childcare. Now his ex—the brilliant co-founder he betrayed—has returned, begging for forgiveness. And me? I’m standing in the wreckage of feelings I didn’t plan to have.
