Home Alone
The scene begins with a man, Mr. Rodgers (played by Mr. Pete), hastily advancing to his neighbor's front entrance.
He grasps a toolbox and an air of urgency surrounds him. A teenage girl, Kat (portrayed by Maya Kendrick), opens the door and ushers him inside. She had been operating the dishwasher when something went awry, resulting in a flood of water! Mr.
Rodgers springs into action, halting the water gush by sealing the valve beneath the sink. However, the issue itself remains unresolved. The pipe is damaged, but he's heading to the home improvement store anyway and promises to purchase and install a new one.
He invites Kat to crouch down and examine the sink's underside, instructing her on the valve to close should another pipe burst in the future. As she eagerly assists, his gaze lingers on her firm behind when she's unaware. Once they finish, Kat expresses her gratitude for his swift assistance.
She admits uncertainly about what she would have done without her neighbor's help, especially in her parents' absence. She wonders aloud what she would do if such a disaster occurred while she was away at university. Mr.
Pete remarks that her departure will be a regretful event, to which Kat, now 18, giggles and mentions she can't remain at home forever. As she escorts him to the front door, Mr. Rodgers hesitates, suggesting he should inspect the service hatch to ensure the pipes aren't deteriorating.
Given that if one fails, others are sure to follow. Appreciating his foresight, Kat concurs and guides him further into the house. As Mr.
Rodgers roams from one room to another in search of the service hatch, Kat starts to grow skeptical, particularly when he checks her bedroom. While he inspects her closet, she hastily hides some personal items, including her lingerie. As expected, the service hatch is in her closet and the pipes do need replacement, which he promises to attend to immediately.
However, rather than departing straight away, Mr. Rodgers saunters over to her window, remarking on the spectacular view. He queries if Kat ever noticed that his bedroom window is visible from hers.
Kat becomes uncomfortable as she glances out the window and acknowledges the view, realizing that Mr. Rodgers could easily peep into her room as well. She blushes, nervously inquiring if he's witnessed anything.
He darkly confesses to having observed a few events, his neighborly persona now entirely vanished.
He mentions witnessing Kat and her boyfriend engaging in backdoor activities. Kat becomes defensive, asserting their adult status grants them the freedom to do as they please. Mr.
Rodgers concurs, but reminds her that he's been friends with her father for 22 years and was asked to watch over her. She is taken aback, questioning if he's been spying on her. Mr.
Rodgers smirks, suggesting she invest in some blinds. Kat, barely able to meet Mr. Rodgers' gaze, requests him to leave.
He agrees to depart but warns her of her father's displeasure upon discovering her and her boyfriend's activities, threatening her with video evidence. Kat is terrified and furious, realizing the neighbor she's known all her life is a voyeur. When he makes advances towards her, she recognizes her predicament and retaliates.
She must make a choice. If he is going to blackmail her into sleeping with him in exchange for his silence, she is determined to regain some semblance of control.
