I can't possibly have lost baby. It's baby. She's attached to me. She's part of me.
What happens when a beloved childhood toy becomes the centre of a suburban shopping mall drama? Marisa's hilarious yet heart-stopping story takes you on a rollercoaster ride through the aisles of a Melbourne mega mall. It's a tale of desperation, kindness, and the surprising power of social media, all wrapped around a doll named Baby. This isn't just any doll; Baby is a 36-year-old, mouldy, creepy little toy with a special place in Marisa's heart and her toddler's arms.
When Baby goes missing during a shoe-shopping trip, Marisa embarks on a frantic quest to find her, aided by the kindness of strangers and the formidable 'mummy mafia' online. As you follow Marisa's journey, you'll laugh at her partner's pranks with Baby and feel the tension as she retraces her steps, hoping to spot the doll. The story turns into a thrilling detective hunt as Taz, the head of security, combs through CCTV footage to locate Baby.
Against all odds, Baby is found—rescued from the bin and returned to Marisa, bringing joy to her toddler, Raph. This episode is a testament to the lengths people will go to help others and the unexpected bonds formed through shared experiences. Ready for a story that combines humour, suspense, and heartfelt moments? Give it a listen and ponder: How far would you go to retrieve something precious?
