[3] Alison "Allie" Evans (Danica McKellar) is an American hotel maid who was fired for not getting an important guest's room ready in time.

Overhearing this, a hotel patron's servant, Fergus (Pavel Douglas), hires her to be a governess for his employer's daughter in the country of Winshire.

When Allie accepts and arrives in the country, she finds that Fergus' employer is widower King Maximillian (Rupert Penry-Jones) and that his daughter is Princess Theodora (Ellie Botterill) who has become mischievous since her mother's death.

When the party arrives, Allie is invited, much to the jealousy and irritation of Lady Celia and to hers and Max’s dismay, the wedding ring has gone missing.

Allie recognizes that the young princess is lashing out due to her unresolved grief over her mother and fears that her father’s engagement to Lady Celia will lead to further emotional loss.

In a private moment, he confides in her about the pressures he faces and how she has brought light and joy back into his life, making him question what he truly wants for his future.
