A 17-year-old girl identified as Stessy has sparked intense online debate after sharing a message on TikTok saying she feels unsafe staying alone at home and is seeking someone to keep her company while her parents are away. WATCH THE VIDEO HERE.
In the now-viral post, the teenager revealed that she resides in Lavington, Nairobi, and expressed fear about being alone in the house. She went on to state that anyone willing to stay with her would receive KSh 20,000.
The post quickly gained traction across social media platforms, drawing mixed reactions from Kenyans, many of whom questioned both the safety and seriousness of her request.
She later clarified that her main intention was to find someone who could offer protection and companionship, as she is uncomfortable staying alone.
She also mentioned that she would prefer a respectful individual, ideally someone familiar with Christian Religious Education or Bible study, since she enjoys listening to Bible stories while waiting for her parents to return.
Despite her explanation, the situation has raised serious concerns among social media users, with many warning that such a request could expose her to danger.
Several Kenyans urged the public to avoid engaging with the post, noting the potential legal and safety risks involved, especially given that she is a minor.
Others highlighted the need for greater awareness around online safety, particularly for teenagers who may unintentionally put themselves in vulnerable situations.
The story continues to trend online as discussions grow around parenting, digital safety, and the responsible use of social media platforms.
