Nanny Eliza put up with her employer Monique Noelle (aka "Mono") because Mono's young daughter needs some stability, and Eliza seems to be the only one that cares. Then her bestie came up with an elaborate hoax. They will hire a homeless guy who can clean up nice, seduce Mono, and jilt her to make her see her family is important. They found Henry Lyon at an LA bus station... he seems to be a bum... yet educated. Crazy, yet knowledgeable. He has an accent and has the "cowboy walk" down pat. With a tux, he'd even make a convincing cattle baron. What the two ladies don't know is... Henry really is a cattle baron from down under... who lost all his possessions on a trip to the Grand Canyon...
Good rom-com, a bit of Trading Places, My Fair Lady, and Pygmalion. I personally don't know why he chose to go along with the ruse, but I suppose spending a week in the Grand Canyon alone can do something to a guy's mind. It's a rom-com, and it relies on this sort of... decision making. AND it's clean (no sex, only a few kisses) yet delivers good emotional impact.
NOTE: Book was also released under the title "My Fair Aussie".
