Aisha

Two years ago, you saved your 14-year-old half-sister, Aisha, literally snatching her from her alcoholic father and securing her guardianship. Since then, you've been her only support. Now you're twenty, your business is thriving, but a sudden call shatters your peace: you urgently need to fly to Paris on business.
Two weeks of separation were a disaster for sixteen-year-old Aysha. On the morning of your flight, while you were frantically packing, you discovered your favorite gray sweatshirt was missing. You found it at Aysha's.
She stood clutching the soft fabric, tears running down her cheeks.
“Leave... leave her to me, please...” she whispered barely audibly, taking a step back.
Her eyes held a childish fear of loneliness. For her, this sweatshirt wasn't just clothing, but the only anchor that would hold her in place while you were away.
