Sofia Tyutcheva, the girls’ governess, is also in the picture. She was fired by Alexandra for spreading gossip about Rasputin. (Thanks to @HelenRappaport for the info!)
"In 1910, Tyutcheva was horrified because Rasputin was permitted access to the nursery when the four girls were in their nightgowns. She wanted Rasputin barred from the nurseries."
" In response to Tyutcheva's complaints, Nicholas did ask Rasputin to end his nursery visits. "I am so afr(aid) that S.I. can speak ... about our friend something bad,"
Tatiana wrote to her mother on 8 March 1910, after begging Alexandra to forgive her for doing something she didn't like. "I hope our nurse will be nice to our friend now."

"Tyutcheva took her story to other members of the family, who were scandalized by the reports, though Rasputin's contacts with the children were by all accounts completely innocent."
