Here is the rephrased text:

Philip "Philly" Fillmore (Eric Brown), a 15-year-old with a privileged upbringing, finds himself under the care of Nicole Mallow (Sylvia Kristel), a sultry French housekeeper, and Lester Lewis (Howard Hesseman), their stoic chauffeur, while his wealthy father is away on an extended business trip. Philly becomes smitten with Nicole, but things take a surprising turn when she catches him snooping in her room. Instead of reprimanding him, she invites him to watch her undress, leaving Philly stunned and overwhelmed. Despite his initial hesitation, he can't resist her charms, and their flirtation reaches new heights.

The next day, Philly is shocked again when Nicole appears in his father's bathtub, this time beckoning him to join her. Though hesitant at first, he eventually succumbs to her advances, but only after donning boxer shorts. Their intimate encounter is marked by playful spooning and kissing, with Nicole making a pass at Philly from behind. However, when she reaches for more, Philly panics once again and makes a hasty exit.

Apologizing profusely, Nicole invites Philly on a date to a movie theater, where they continue to flirt shamelessly. Eventually, Philly gives in to his desires, but is taken aback when Nicole reveals her reluctance to marry him. The following day, she proposes a compromise: a trial relationship for the time being. Their first official date culminates in a night of passion.

But beneath the surface, sinister forces are at play. It emerges that Nicole is an illegal immigrant, and Lester has been exploiting this secret to blackmail her into aiding his own nefarious plans against Philly. His plan involves Nicole seducing Philly and then faking her death during intercourse, with Lester "helping" a distraught Philly bury the body. Later, a cryptic note orders Philly to pilfer $10,000 from his father's bank account to prevent exposure of his involvement in Nicole's "demise."

As Nicole's doubts resurface, Lester unleashes a vicious ultimatum: unless she plays along, he'll not only reveal their illicit relationship but also her dark past as a supposed child molester. With her heart still reeling from her whirlwind romance with Philly (actor name), Nicole finally musters the courage to confess the truth to her young lover. Philly's resolve is tested, but ultimately, he decides to exact revenge on Lester by orchestrating an elaborate ruse. The unsuspecting school tennis coach, played by Ed Begley Jr., assumes the role of a no-nonsense police detective and subjects Lester to a grueling interrogation about Nicole's disappearance. The scheming Lester is left scrambling, his plans foiled as he's caught red-handed with the stolen loot mere moments before attempting to flee the country.

Nicole and Philly reunite, returning the pilfered funds to their rightful place in the safe, but they choose not to expose Lester's egregious betrayal. In a surprising turn of events, Lester is forced to swallow his pride and keep quiet about Nicole's illegal status and supposed past misdeeds, allowing him to maintain his position.

As the specter of discovery looms over them, Nicole becomes increasingly anxious that Philly's father will eventually stumble upon their clandestine affair. With trepidation, she decides it's time to bid farewell to her young lover. Before departing, however, Nicole and Philly share a poignant, if bittersweet, farewell tryst.

As the seasons change and summer gives way to autumn, Philly returns to his high school routine. In homeroom class, he offers a heartfelt thank you to his teacher for offering sage advice on pursuing relationships with individuals of an age more befitting his own. With newfound confidence, he then successfully asks out his teacher – a testament to the transformative power of self-discovery and growth.
