Teddy è un dolce bambino di cinque anni, intelligente e curioso, che ama disegnare qualsiasi cosa: gli alberi, gli animali, i genitori e, occasionalmente, anche la sua amica immaginaria, Anya, che dorme sotto il suo letto e gioca con lui quando è da solo. Ma ora a occuparsi di lui per tutta l’estate c’è Mallory, la nuova babysitter.
