Babysitter
Micha does the same. He falls in love with Claudia, whom he hardly knew until then, and he falls in love with the role of being a father. Friends and acquaintances bring their children to him and Micha becomes a babysitter, initially against his will. Everything could go on like this, if it weren't for one thing that Micha doesn't know: Claudia's child is not his. Claudia herself has made a compromise in her ideas about life and love that she is now unable to cope with.
