World-renowned chef Archer never imagined trading his Michelin-star kitchen for a small-town pancake restaurant — but Dream Harbor needs a new chef, and he needs a community to help raise Olive, the young daughter he never knew existed. Iris, who has never managed to hold down a job for long, reluctantly takes on the role of live-in nanny after some gentle pushing from the locals. Thrown together under the same roof, Archer and Iris try their best to keep things strictly professional — but with undeniable chemistry growing between them and little Olive playing matchmaker, staying in their lanes proves harder than either expected.
