Eleanor,
After our interaction this afternoon, I feel it is important to go over some guidelines on working for me.
Firstly, I believe it is best that you address me as Mr. East from here on out.
I believe it will make things less personal.
Since you are an employee, this is appropriate behavior, and it is how all my previous employees have been told to approach me.
It is nothing personal, merely a business standard that is expected.
I appreciate you upholding this structure moving forward.
Please note that you are to take any and all updates directly to Allison as opposed to bringing them to me.
This is of the utmost importance, as I am a very busy individual and I do not have the time or patience to be bothered at your will.
I am running a huge corporation, and the last thing I need is for the nanny to occupy my valuable time speaking out of turn about piano lessons.
As to that matter, Lorelai will continue her lessons, end of story.
I believe Allison has already informed you of the three-strike process.
Please respect these rules and keep them at the forefront of your mind as we move forward.
Warm regards,
Mr. East

Eleanor,
Your sarcasm is ill-received. Please be more cognizant of acting your age. Strike one.
Warm regards,
Mr. East
