Please consider the following hypothetical:

You are a wealthy handsome middle-aged architect/artist. While your wife is on vacation with the kids, you stay in your mansion and work on your project, having some red wine and listening to avant-garde music. You whistle around as you iron some shirts.

It is heavily raining outside when suddenly there is a knock at the door.

You open the door and find two young females who introduce themselves as Jill and Janet. Jill and Janet were heading for a college party when they got caught in the pouring rain, having got off at the wrong stop on public transit. You decide to let them take shelter from the rain in your living room while a taxi is on the way here.

Jill and Janet show great "interest" in you and they keep dropping hints in the conversation. You attempt to resist because you have a wife and kids but in the end you give up to temptation. The taxi is forgotten about as the three of you enjoy an entire night of adult entertainment.

In the morning, you come to your senses and realise that you have made a monumental mistake. However, things get worse.

Jill and Janet have made a giant mess of your entire house; apparently on purpose. They have messed up the entire kitchen and are now eating like animals in the living room. You tell them "Time to Go" but they refuse to leave. They act like hyperactive children as they play "hide and seek" in the house and giggle around like pixies. You realised that you have been massively Trolled. You spend about many minutes trying to chase them around the house.

When your wife calls you, you awkwardly step outside and tell her: "EHHHHH... Look I'm kind of busy err... the project. I'll talk to you later. I love you. Bye."

Angrily, you step back into the house and tell Jill that you are going to call the police if they do not leave. You pick up the phone threateningly.

Jill and Janet seem to find this amusing. Jill then "reveals" that they are underage and if you call the police you will go down as a predator (this may or may not be true). "You are in BIG TROUBLE MISTER." They have "no plans to shower." They make a remark about 15 years in prison...

You are absolutely outraged as you scream out: "WHAT?! THA.... THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE! HOW THE HELL CAN YOU TWO BE FLIGHT ATTENDANTS IF YOU'RE FIFTEEN?!!!! THIS MAKES NO SENSE!"

The two girls annoyingly giggle and tell you that they were just messing with you yesterday; they picked the flight attendant motif from some movie.

...

You realise that this situation is very bad. If you call the police, things could escalate. Also, if your wife finds out about this... You don't even want to go there.

So what do you do? Please explain your justification. Try to answer the hypothetical as You (the real life you) but having somehow done what the rich architect/artist has done in this scenario up to this point.

Here is a list of options:

1. You take out your wallet and say... "Alright then... ... HOW MUCH?!" wave wallet aggressively* "HOW... MUCH?!" You offer to buy their silence and departure, hoping they are just con artists.

2. "I don't believe you." Picks up the phone and calls the police* "Let's roll the dice." If they really are 15, maybe you would go to jail but hopefully they can go down for something too. Besides, they don't look 15 (they could be though). It's a risk. The problem with this approach though is that your wife will likely find out somehow about your cheating behaviour and/or you could end up in legal trouble; the legal system also has a reputation for favouring women in these disputes.

3. You attack Jill and Janet and physically attempt to kill them (since you don't have any weapons at your disposal, you will have to fight them). You then find some way to get rid of/hide the corpses. You clean up the house. When the wife and kids return, you whistle and act as if all is normal. Keep in mind that you might not be able to kill both of them in a fight (it is 1 vs 2) and/or one of both of them may escape and call the police. You could end up in prison for a long time but you act out of Anger.

4. You realised that you have sinned. "Do as you will, but we all have to pay for the mistakes that we make (walk away like a boss*)." You don't really care what happens from this point because you've understood the gravity of your cheating behaviour. When the wife returns, you plan to tell her the truth and ask for her forgiveness; if she does not extend it, you understand.

...

Please discuss what you would do and provide your justification.

It is right at my level of tolerance for disgusting. I've avoided seeing the sequels.

Burn the house down while calling the police telling them that two teenagers just burned your house down.

It’s a very satisfying task

Yeeeah, gonna stop this one here, we don't need hypotheticals that amount to "What would you do if you committed statutory rape?"
