The Nanny Affair Theory Page



Welcome to The Nanny Affair Theory Page. This is a place where you can discuss confirmed, debunked, and unconfirmed theories from the The Nanny Affair series.

Confirmed Theories

 * Sofia is the Big Bad: Given the way Sofia has treated the twins and the MC since she first met the latter, it is believed she will be the big bad of this story. This is confirmed in Book 1, Chapter 19, when she outs the MC and Sam about their affair.
 * Sofia's lover: It is possible that Sofia's lover is Robin (see theory below about Robin and Sofia working together). This is also confirmed in Book 1, Chapter 19, when you find her and Robin together in a bathroom.
 * Saboteur: Players believe that Robin is the one who sabotaged the MC's project. This is confirmed in Book 2, Chapter 13, as he/she sabotaged not only the MC's, but Sam's as well, to get ahead in the competition for the company.
 * Jordan will be a villain: While some players believe he/she will end up as a stalker that is obsessed with MC, others believe he/she may be working for Robin or Sofia in order to get revenge on Sam. This is confirmed in Book 2, Chapter 16 as MC realized Jordan is working with Robin.
 * Robin: In Book 1, Chapter 4, the player gets to learn more about Robin, as they spend time planning Sam and Sofia's engagement party together. In this, the player discovers Robin was basically adopted by the Daltons and considers Sam to be his/her older sibling. But, s/he also shows some jealousy toward Sam as part of a sibling rivalry. This jealousy could lead Robin to become a villain in the story. This is confirmed as in Book 2, Chapter 13, he/she becomes jealous that Sam has achieved everything without putting in nearly as much effort as him/her, which leads him/her to destroy Sam's prototype.
 * Stranger: Many players believe the woman who appeared in Book 2, Chapter 18 is Addison, Sam's first wife, or a relative of hers. This is strengthened in the finale of Book 2, as Mickey and Mason recognized her as their mother, and confirmed when Addison brings forward DNA tests confirming that it is indeed her.
 * Book 3's release date: Due to the latest steamy books being released on Fridays, it is believed that Book 3 will take the place of Surrender, Book 1, which is expected to end in early June. This is confirmed when the release date is revealed to be June 24, which is a Friday.
 * Addison will be a Big Bad: Considering the timing of her coming back, many players believe she will be the big bad of Book 3. This is confirmed in Chapter 10, when it is revealed that Addison is trying to cast the MC in a bad light while suing for full custody of the twins.
 * Subway: In Book 1, Chapter 2, Sam freaks out once he/she learns that MC and the twins took the subway (which he/she has a strict rule against), even though MC explains that it was the only way of getting home at the time. It is possible that the subway brings back bad memories for Sam and might have even had something to do with his/her wife's death, or foreshadows that something bad will happen in the future if they take the subway again. In Book 3, Chapter 2, it is revealed that his/her wife, Addison, was involved in a subway crash, which most likely confirms this theory.
 * Trilogy: Many players believe the series will conclude as a trilogy. This is strengthened on October 25, 2021, as PB confirmed that TNA will receive a Book 3. On October 28, 2022, it is also confirmed that Book 3, Chapter 20, is the series finale.
 * Aditya and Jenny: Many players believe Aditya will divorce in Book 3 and end up in a relationship with Jenny. Many players also believe MC will play as a matchmaker in their relationship. This is strengthened in Book 3, Chapter 18, when Aditya says that he and his wife will be getting a divorce, and confirmed in Chapter 19 where we have the chance to matchmake them together.
 * Robin and Sofia: Given that Robin seems to still have feelings for Sofia by Book 3 Chapter 5, there is a theory that we will eventually matchmake them together and restore their relationship. This is strengthened by the emojis featured in Book 3's blog that potentially hint at a courtship, and from how you take notice of their behavior at your engagement party. This is confirmed in Chapter 20, where we have one last chance to matchmake them.

Debunked Theories

 * Sofia's Involvement with Robin: Due to how Sofia has treated MC throughout the book and her, and Robin, not attending the gala in Chapter 12, it is speculated the two are working together to expose and take down Sam for control of the family companies. This is debunked as Sofia refused to work with Robin in Book 2, Chapter 7, and Robin sabotaged Sofia's performance in Chapter 13 after failing to persuade her to work with him/her.
 * Sam's parents: It is believed that Sam's parents will be antagonists as they will try to force him/her to marry Sofia, otherwise they will give the position of CEO of Dalton Enterprises to Robin. This is strengthened in Book 1, Chapter 14, when Sam explains that their engagement was their parents' idea, and that his/her father will only give the company to him/her if he/she marries Sofia, otherwise the company will fall into Robin's hands. Sam wants to give the company to the boys once he/she retires, and he/she believes Robin will not do the same if the latter takes over. This is disproven as Sam's father pits him/her against Robin for ownership of the company, and at the end of Book 2, Sam gives the company to Sofia.
 * Marriage: Similar to Baby Bump, Book 2, many players predict MC and Sam will marry by the end of Book 2. This is debunked as Sam proposed an engagement to MC in the finale of Book 2.
 * The Parent Trap (1961 and 1998 films) / Au Pair (1999 film): Some players theorize that the plot will be similar to the movies, where the father of the twins/children was engaged to a woman who disliked the twins/children (and the feeling was mutual). The twins/children then had to show their father how awful his fiancée was and break them up. This theory is debunked due to the storyline being different.
 * Exposing Sofia: After the revelation that Sofia was cheating on Sam in Book 1, Chapter 14, it is believed we can use this information to take down Sofia once and for all. This is debunked as she is eventually redeemed.
 * Jordan will become a love interest: While many players believe he/she will eventually become a love interest, some pointed out that the narration will say the book has only one love interest if you don't import Book 1's data. Additionally, the character's gender is predetermined by Sam's gender, as opposed to other gender customizable love interests. This theory is eventually debunked as nothing in the story suggests that the two have feelings for each other anymore, and because Book 3, Chapter 20's summary states that we'll get married to Sam.
 * Imposter: Some players believe that we are dealing with an imposter who looks like Addison, most likely her twin, and that the DNA tests are fake. This is strengthened in Book 3, Chapter 2, when it is revealed that there was another woman who looked similar to Addison, and their IDs got mixed up in the subway crash. However, this theory is debunked as Addison provides DNA tests confirming that it is her, and because she eventually redeems herself and apologizes for the mess she has caused.
 * Subway crash and Addison's look-alike: Months before the crash, someone might have paid for some kind of surgery to change a woman to become Addison's doppelgänger. Same person might also have caused Addison to be chased into the subway and also somehow caused the subway train to crash. Likely someone who wanted Sam to believe Addison died.
 * The imposter: If the real Addison died, the imposter could be another suspect. She might have set an explosive somewhere in/on/near the train and positioned herself in such a way to allow escape. One potential reason could be to get into Sam's life and/or into the lives of the twins. This is disproven since she was not an imposter.
 * Subway crash and Addison's look-alike: Months before the crash, someone might have paid for some kind of surgery to change a woman to become Addison's doppelgänger. Same person might also have caused Addison to be chased into the subway and also somehow caused the subway train to crash. Likely someone who wanted Sam to believe Addison died.
 * The Russo family: One potential set of suspects for both the surgery and the crash could be them. One potential reason could be to get Sofia engaged to Sam.
 * Sam's parents: They could be another potential set of suspects for both events. One potential reason could be that they thought Addison not good for Sam.
 * Robin Flores: Some players seem to suspect him/her since he/she attempted to ruin Sam's life during the books.
 * Someone else: Some other person could have paid for the surgery and caused the crash.
 * Inspiration: Parts of this series may have been inspired by the sitcom called The Nanny. This is debunked due to lack of evidence.
