When she appears on the doorstep of wealthy widower Maxwell Sheffield's New York home, cosmetics saleswoman Fran Fine unexpectedly gets a job as the nanny for the Broadway producer's three children, Maggie, Brighton and Grace. Fran brings her no-nonsense honesty, sharp sense of humour and `Queens logic' into the Sheffield household, helping them become a happy, healthy family - a family that Fran eventually joins when she marries Maxwell. Also in the Sheffield household is sarcastic English butler Niles.

After attending a retirement party for a friend (Tyne Daly), Fran (Fran Drescher) stumbles into bed with Maxwell (Charles Shaughnessy). With Daniel Davis.

Maggie receives a party invitation, so Fran takes her to her favorite beauty salon. Fran gets a job there for an actress who loses a Sheffield audition.

When Fran and Brighton (Fran Drescher, Benjamin Salisbury) are mugged in Central Park, the perpetrator (Alex Nevil) gets more than a purse.

Fran must overcome many hurdles when her pen pal (Florence Griffith-Joyner) of 25 years wants to meet her.
