Matteo has been telling Dad for ages that he’s too old for a babysitter – he can look after himself and his younger twin siblings, Bella and Leo. So when their usual babysitter can’t come one Saturday night, Matteo is finally in charge! He’ll show Dad that he can follow the rules and take care of the twins … unless, of course, his siblings have other ideas for the night.
