Melgar is a Bolivian migrant, who left her country for job opportunities. Somehow, she had a fateful encounter with Shakira and Piqué when their eldest child was just a baby. This meeting led to her becoming their nanny for a decade. Unfortunately, Piqué terminated her employment upon discovering that she had informed Shakira about his infidelity with Clara Chía. Not only did Pique dismiss her, but he also neglected to fulfill his legal obligation to compensate her.
