Matto, 33, said she was living in New York City at the time and attending acting school when she decided to apply for a babysitting job with what she described as a “high-profile family.” She said the job requirements included picking up the family's daughter from her private school and someone who was bilingual and “involved in the arts and played the piano.”
“I was the perfect candidate for this family, so they immediately hired me. And this job seemed like any other job, very routine.”
She went on to explain that even though the daughter was “super well behaved,” she found the father “strange.”
“This father was a very prominent person in sports,” Matto said, adding that he didn't know who he was until he told his stepfather.
“I didn't have much interaction with the father, but every once in a while he would come home during my shift and just hang out with us.”

The reality TV star said the athlete soon became “very, very interested” in her life and even complimented her on her appearance.
“I accepted the compliment, but now that I think about it, I see this was a red flag,” he said.
The most disturbing detail Matto shared was about a time when she was cooking in the family kitchen. He said the unnamed athlete walked up behind her to look for something in a drawer and “[pressed] his body against” hers.
Matto, who said he was about 20 years old at the time, said he ignored the encounter until he received a new follower on Instagram. Her profile picture was of a sports team logo, one she didn't recognize.
“This account that follows me starts showing up in my DMs and saying things like, 'You're so beautiful,' 'I wish I had a chance to meet you,'” she said.
Matto said he finally linked the pro athlete and the Instagram account after seeing the pro wearing a cap with the same logo.

“My heart sank in my stomach,” he said.
Later that night, she decided to report the social media account, saying, “If it's who I think it is, they have to stop.”
Matto said she believed there was only a 1% chance the account belonged to the famous father, but hours after sending the message, the account was no longer following her. Days later, he also received a text message from the family “letting me know that they no longer need my babysitting services.”
He did not say for sure whether the two incidents were related or if it was all just a “coincidence.”
In a follow-up video posted Tuesday, Matto said she was “terrified” after a “handful” of users correctly guessed the athlete's name. She went on to say that while his firing occurred “under suspicious circumstances,” the athlete and his family moved to another state shortly afterward.
