Au pair wins $2m payout after millionaire boss recorded ‘hundreds’ of nude vids on camera hidden in smoke detector

A NANNY has won a whopping $2million payout after a millionaire dad-of-four allegedly recorded hundreds of nude videos of her with a camera hidden in a smoke detector.

Colombia-born Kelly Andrade, 25, had been living with Michael Esposito, 35, and his family at their lavish home in New York's Staten Island.

According to a lawsuit filed in Brooklyn Federal Court, fast-food chicken mogul Esposito attempted to force her door while she cowered in terror after discovering the hidden camera in her bedroom.

He was taken into custody in 2021 on suspicion of illegal surveillance, a crime carrying a maximum four-year prison sentence.

But Esposito was granted permission to walk by the Staten Island District Attorney and a Staten Island judge, on the condition that he complete two years of probation and counselling.

A Manhattan jury has now awarded $2.78million to the outraged au pair, who said her millionaire ex-boss got only a “slap on the wrist” from prosecutors.

An emotional Andrade told the New York Post: “It’s not enough for the whole situation I’ve been through these three years. It’s not enough.

“I was angry because the damage that he caused me is irreversible.”

Before being hired by placement agency Cultural Care Au Pair and travelling to the US, the South American woman completed hundreds of hours of training.

The organisation then matched her with Esposito, the owner of three LaRosa Grill franchises, and his wife, Danielle.

While the renovations were underway on their neighbouring $2.3 million property, the Esposito family was residing in the lakefront Tottenville home belonging to Danielle's parents.
