Synopsis

A suburban family chooses seemingly sweet Peyton Flanders as their newborn's nanny. Only much later does the infant's mother, Claire Bartel, realize Peyton's true intentions -- to destroy Claire and replace her in the family. The nail-biting suspense builds quickly in this chilling psychological thriller about deception and bitter revenge.

The main character suffers from asthma and has a few attacks throughout. It's very audible and actually quite frightening.

A married doctor sexually assaults patients, I'm not sure if acts of violence count as cheating. Another character is later falsely accused of sexual assault but eventually cleared of any wrongdoing.
