'Scary' Childless Twins At UES Park Put Families On Edge: Report

UPPER EAST SIDE, NY — A pair of identical twin sisters are creeping out parents and caregivers inside an Upper East Side playground, according to a new report.

The childless Christian duo, known as the Indiggo Twins — real names Gabriela and Mihaela Modorcea, both 40 — frequent the playground inside John Jay Park, asking children invasive questions and initiating other strange interactions, like asking a child if they can braid their hair, reports the New York Post.

One parent told the police that she learned about them from a neighborhood mom group, and when she recognized them in the park, she phoned the cops.

“This is my daughter’s playground. I don’t want adults around children,” Paulina, 35, told The Post. "I don’t know why they’re not doing something better with their lives instead of hanging out at a playground, you have to draw the line.”

A nanny told the tabloid that the duo once asked a child she cares for to share her name and age, and described the interaction as "scary."

She said she took the child home immediately.

The Post sent a reporter and an ace photographer to get the twins' side of the story, staging a photoshoot inside the same playground where the parents say they've have made unwelcome contact with children.

They said the parents and caregivers are being unfair and that the parents need to be more open, The Post reported.

“We’ve lived here for 16 years. For 16 years we’ve gone to John Jay. It’s the closest to us. It’s a completely false alarm,” Gabriela said to the paper.

“It’s a completely false alarm. It’s the opposite,” Mihaela told the reporter. “We love children beyond belief."

“The way we look [in the parenting group] — we look like criminals. Hardcore criminals. My weapon is love,” Gabriela told The Post. “We’re Christians, we’re all about promoting love and light.”

The sisters shared with The Post that they are originally from Transylvania and attended the Bucharest National University of Arts, arriving in the Upper East Side in 2006 to find a career in music and theater.

In that regard, they've had some more welcome advances, appearing on America's Got Talent in 2008, and once posed for a photo kissing actor Robert De Niro at a 2011 Vanity Fair party, and a song of theirs was once sampled on a Jay-Z song, The Post writes.

While a neighborhood Facebook group has been sounding the alarm about the playground-dwelling twins since at least last spring, one nanny told The Post that she interacted with the twins and didn't find them threatening at all.

“They have men that come in the park that don’t come with kids. They have young kids that smoke. That’s what [authorities] need to focus on. I don’t think they should be worried about [the twins]," the nanny told The Post.

Recently the Parks Department put up a sign outside the playground informing people that childless adults are not allowed in the playground.

A Parks official told The Post that aside from blatantly ignoring that stated rule, they were not aware of any illegal activity by the Indiggo Twins.

“We will be increasing our patrols of our Parks Enforcement officers around the playground to monitor," the department said in a statement to The Post.
