A wealthy Chilean couple accused of forcing their nanny into deplorable, slave-like conditions on Manhattan's Upper East Side are stuck on a permanent vacation in Italy after the U.S. refused to let them back into the country this fall.

Interior designer Micky Hurley and graphic designer Malu Custer Edwards are the Chilean power couple accused of keeping their nanny in "slave-like conditions" on Manhattan's Upper East Side. Last week, the New York Post reported that Hurley and Edwards, both members of Chile's aristocratic elite, are in the midst of a lawsuit filed by Felicitas del Carmen Villanueva Garnica, a 50-year-old nanny who says the duo paid her about $2 an hour for her labor and let their children beat her.
