sitter
Parents' night out
A sitter is someone who sits, especially in a specific capacity.
A babysitter watches children; a house sitter looks after a home while owners are away.
In art, a sitter is someone posing for a portrait: The painter asked his sitter to hold still.
In sports, a sitter is an easy shot or chance that should be impossible to miss—one you could make sitting down.
