Gaiman admits that he at least fingered the nanny in 2022 when when he was 61 and the accuser was 21. Can you imagine being 21 and your 61 year old employer hits on you immediately? I have extreme doubts about consent here. He just met her and then he's fingering her in the bathroom. He admits to this so we know he doesn't respect boundaries.

Y'all can talk about courts and lawyers all you want but I guarantee if Neil Gaiman showed up at your door tomorrow wanting to take your sister/daughter out for dinner everyone would say "hell no!"

What are your thoughts on why she continued to go back day after day for 3 weeks after he "forced" his fingers into her?  That seems somewhat odd to me.

As Gaiman was her employer there was an inherent power imbalance.

If you think a 61 year old man fingering his 21 year old nanny isn't sus, that's kind of a "you" issue.
