TV show description:      
A mystery thriller series, The Watchful Eye TV show was created by Julie Durk.

The story follows Elena Santos (Molino), a bright and savvy young woman hired as the live-in nanny to a wealthy widower and his young son. When Elena moves into The Greybourne, a landmark Manhattan apartment building, she quickly learns about the complex politics among its wealthy inhabitants and a history riddled with mystery and tragedy. Luckily, Elena is more than equipped to handle anything that comes her way on her own terms.

Elena works for Matthew (Christie), a self-made and handsome architect dealing with grief and confusion over his wife’s death and its impact on his intelligent and withdrawn son, Jasper (Samiri). Tory (Acker) is Matthew’s sister-in-law who instantly dislikes the fresh-faced and eager young nanny.

Mrs. Ivey (Bishop) is a lifelong resident of The Greybourne who rules the roost and is accustomed to getting her way through a potent combination of wealth, power, and sheer force of will.

Scott (Ecker) is Elena’s sharp and cunning boyfriend who has helped arrange for Elena to land her job. Elliott (Lumpkin), a precocious teenager, lives in The Greybourne and builds an instant friendship with Elena.

Ginny (Royale) works alongside Elena as a nanny and is one of the few people who can get past her new friend’s tough outer shell.
