My Son Visited Our Neighbor Daily ‘To Cook’ – I Walked in One Day and Called the Police
A single mom, Kayla, is concerned when her 7-year-old son, Eli, befriends their reclusive elderly neighbor, Ms. Eleanor. At first, it’s innocent — Eli enjoys baking cookies with her. However, things become strange when Eli starts bringing home cash from Ms. Eleanor. She pays him for helping, but Kayla grows suspicious. She investigates and finds photos of her and Eli in Ms. Eleanor’s house, which makes her panic and call the police.
When the authorities arrive, Ms. Eleanor explains that Eli reminds her of her late grandson, and she had been creating a scrapbook for Kayla’s upcoming birthday with Eli’s help. The money was for printing photos, and the “secret” was a surprise gift. Kayla, feeling guilty for overreacting, apologizes, and Ms. Eleanor opens up. The two women bond, and Eli helps her reconnect with the neighborhood.
