Being a single parent takes strength, love, and sacrifice. Greg, a devoted single dad to 4-year-old Alisa, knows this all too well. After losing his wife shortly after Alisa’s birth and his parents in a tragic accident, Greg has raised his daughter alone, working tirelessly to provide for her. Though their life is modest—a rented one-bedroom apartment, no luxuries—Greg and Alisa share a deep bond. She’s a kind, content child who’s never gone without love or care, even if her toys aren’t the newest.

Last year, Greg visited a distant relative in a village, where Alisa met Rosa, a sweet girl she quickly bonded with. Rosa’s parents, Helen and Paul, welcomed Alisa warmly. Over time, they became close family friends, often inviting Alisa to their home, even offering to host her for a week. Though Greg was initially hesitant, their kindness reassured him.

But their involvement soon felt excessive. They began inviting Alisa over more frequently, eventually suggesting she stay for an entire month to “help Greg work more.” Then came the shocking twist: Helen and Paul told Greg they dreamed of a big family and proposed Alisa live with them permanently. They even suggested legal guardianship—promising Greg could still visit and she could still call him “Dad.”

Greg was horrified. He grabbed Alisa, left immediately, and cut off all contact. His daughter misses them and doesn’t understand why they stopped visiting, but Greg is torn—should he move away entirely or find a safe way for Alisa to see Rosa again under strict supervision? He reached out, asking: How do I protect my daughter while also shielding her from heartbreak?
