Nana Owiti posted a sponsored video on Monday, August 17, showing her son gearing up for a football match alongside an unfamiliar face in their home: a new house help.

The timing of the post caught people off guard.

Does Nana Owiti have new nanny?

Just the previous day, her ex-husband King Kaka had announced the death of Christine, a longtime household manager who had spent years working closely with the family and had even featured in moments shared on their social media pages.

The rapper had paid tribute to Christine on Sunday, August 16, describing her as more than an employee and accompanying his farewell post with a song by Amos and Josh.

Christine had been a familiar presence in the Kaka household for years. King Kaka had once visited her rural home in Kendu Bay alongside Nana, a gesture that underscored just how valued she was within the family.

Her death drew an outpouring of condolences from fans who remembered her from the couple's earlier posts together.

The ad opens with Nana's son, dressed in a Manchester United jersey, tying his boots before heading to the kitchen.

There, the new house help hands him a steaming cup of hot cocoa, saying:

"My grandson, you cannot carry dreams when hungry."

The clip then cuts to the young boy on a football pitch, sprinting and eventually scoring a goal.

The house help cheers from the sidelines, flask in hand. As he runs off the pitch, she wraps him in a hug and declares:

"You see? Hot chocolate brings out the talent," before pouring him another cup.

The comments section became a mix of celebration and condolences. One user simply wrote:

"So sorry for your loss, Nana," referring to Christine's passing, and Nana responded with a hug emoji.

Others cheered on the young footballer:
