Confront or no?

I would retain a lawyer and she you for every penny you have! This is unbelievably stupid advice.

Being accused of stealing is a terrible accusation. You can ruin someone’s life.

Um, hide it in a backpack? What’s so difficult about getting a bottle out of the house?

A magnum of champagne is big! Our nanny doesn’t carry a huge backpack around.

I thought it was a regular bottle?

That's what you get for thinking when you aren't accustomed to thinking.

Like you said, I would let the sitter go.

But like James Bond in Casino Royale, it could have been a double blind.
Watch the nanny.

Umm and you’d be suing for…what?
