Elena’s son, Tim, mentioned “Daddy’s other kids” at a “secret house,” alarming her. Suspecting betrayal, she traced Jake’s location to a yellow house via Tim’s tablet GPS. There, she saw Jake with kids calling him “Dad.” Carol, a social worker, explained it was Sunshine House, a foster care cooperative where Jake volunteered. Tim’s “secret” was a misunderstanding; kids called
volunteers “Dad” for comfort. Relieved, Elena saw Jake’s true kindness. Advice: Apologize for doubting Jake and discuss his secrecy. Foster open communication and consider volunteering together.
