My heart breaks for this poor girl. Oh, not the tragically shallow 20-something who wrote the letter but the 16 year old. Except for her luxurious surroundings, she might as well have spent her brief life being raised by wolves in the wild. Even the ever-loving nanny sounds incompetent and inadequate or the poor girl would have been taught some basic life skills like personal hygiene or professionally evaluated if she's incapable of learning those skills.
There appears to be at least one grandmother in the picture. I don't hear any mention of her stepping up the plate so we have to assume this family has been dysfunctional for generations.
Just another argument for making the requirements for becoming a parent at least as stringent as those for adopting a poodle.
