A few years ago, a wealthy couple decided to take a romantic vacation in Rome, Italy. Before they left on their trip, they asked their live-in nanny, Emily, to watch and take care of the kids. That night, when the couple left for their romantic vacation, the two children, Lucas and Lindsey, were already fast asleep in bed. So the nanny decided to do some chores around the home. She started cleaning upstairs and worked her way downstairs to her boss’s library office. As she was cleaning the windows in the library, Emily came across a portrait of a young but beautiful woman hanging on the library wall.

The portrait immediately grabbed Emily’s attention; she couldn’t take her eyes off it. She felt the portrait was calling out to her. As Emily stepped closer to the portrait hanging on the wall, she saw the woman in the portrait move. Emily was very shaken and ran out of the library. She heard Lucas in bed calling out for her. Emily ran upstairs and went into the children’s room. She asked Lucas, “Why are you still up? You should be in bed sleeping.” Lucas responded to Emily, “I had a nightmare.” Emily said to Lucas, “It is alright; it was just a bad dream. Lucas, go back to sleep.”

Emily tucked Lucas back into bed, and he fell fast asleep. As Emily walked downstairs, she thought about the portrait of the young woman she saw in the library. Emily decided to do some research on the portrait. She found an art history book in her room about the lady in the portrait. She found out a young woman named Katie-Rose Chevalier was engaged to a wealthy aristocrat in Massachusetts during the 1780s. On the night before her wedding, she mysteriously disappeared. There were many stories told over the years of her disappearance, but no one knew what happened to the young woman.

Later that night, Emily decided to watch TV, so she headed downstairs to the family room so she wouldn’t wake the kids. As she entered the family room, the phone rang. Emily answered the phone so she wouldn’t disturb the kids as they slept. The couple asked how the kids were doing and if everything was okay. Emily had a special request; she asked if she could take down the portrait of Katie-Rose in the library downstairs or cover it up with a cloth because it made her very nervous. The phone line was silent for a moment, and the mother who was talking to Emily at the time said, “Emily, I am not sure what portrait you’re talking about, but the only portrait we have is a family portrait in the library.” Emily put down the phone and walked slowly to the library. When she entered the room, she noticed the woman in the painting wasn’t there….

Emily ran out of the library and headed upstairs to grab the children, but before she could make it to the children’s room, there was the woman from the portrait, Katie-Rose, holding her hand out. Emily asked, “What do you want?” Katie-Rose responded, “You.” Several days later, the parents came back from their vacation to check on their kids and the nanny because they hadn’t heard from them in a week. The parents found their children safe from harm and their nanny making breakfast in the kitchen. As the father headed into the library, there was a silent but faint cry for help coming from the portrait on the wall. As the father left the library to join his family in the main dining area, you could see the portrait of the wealthy couple and their two children, but deep underneath lies a portrait of the young woman Katie-Rose; the woman in the picture isn’t Katie-Rose; it is the couple’s nanny, Emily….
