Abby and her brother, David, often disagree, but David always gets the upper hand over shy Abby. Abby is shy and often feels put down by David, so she really bonds with her shy sitter, Hannah. Hannah keeps seeing an angry ghost, however, and David doesn't believe it and tries to use it as a reason to get rid of her. In the end, however, David finds out that he's not always right.
