Alfie is enjoying a quiet evening at home with his little sister, Annie Rose, while their parents are out and Maureen is babysitting. Then they hear a mysterious drip. Soon, water is pouring through the ceiling, and everyone is rushing to deal with the burst pipe. As Maureen’s parents arrive to help, Alfie notices that Annie Rose is upset.
