About this listen
When seven-year-old Liam draws a picture of “someone who makes him feel safe,” his teacher, Kate Avery, assumes it’s an imaginary friend. But Liam insists otherwise: his caretaker visits at night, makes cocoa, and plays chess. The only problem? Liam’s “Grandad” died before he was born.
What begins as a child’s harmless fantasy soon unsettles Kate, then his mother, and finally the quiet flat itself. Chess pieces move when no one touches them, the kettle clicks off by unseen hands, and familiar scents drift through the air like memory returned. The caretaker is there—comforting, watchful, impossible to explain.
Caught between safeguarding duty and an intuition she cannot dismiss, Kate must decide whether to raise the alarm—or trust in a presence whose only wish seems to be to protect.
Blending the ordinary warmth of family life with the uncanny edges of the unseen, The Caretaker is a haunting, tender tale of love, memory, and the quiet guardians who refuse to let go.
