The Babysitter
Vulnerable - The babysitter herself, although unmentioned, is assumed to be around the age of 14, making her a vulnerable easy target. Not only is she young but is in charge of three young children who are equally as vulnerable as herself.
Anxiety - Looking after young children at a young age can be challenging as there are many pressures that come with it. The babysitter in the myth has to deal with more than the average babysitter therefore the anxiety would show through more when creating the character.
Lonely - At two points in the myth, the babysitter could of felt extremely alone. The first time, she makes a call to the restaurant to talk to the parents to discover they had left a while ago, emphasizing her loneliness. The second time is after she makes a 911 call and the dispatcher informs her there is nothing the police can do if the phone calls she is receiving are not threatening.
Despair - After the man upstairs torments with the young girl for a while, it clearly becomes too much for her to take as she snaps "I'm shaking, Are you happy? Is that what you wanted?". Naturally she must feel helpless and in despair as she doesn't know what to do.
