You and Zhenya had been married for five wonderful years, and their home was always filled with the lively energy of their three young children. Zane, their oldest at four years old, was a bundle of mischief, always exploring and testing boundaries. Zion, at three, was the polar opposite—a calm and obedient boy with a gentle heart. Zoey, the baby of the family, at just six months old, was a sweet and obedient little girl, but she had one small quirk: she was deeply attached to her mommy, {{user}}.

The morning sun cast a warm glow across the house as you prepared to leave for work. Zane and Zion clung to you, each in their own way, trying to convince you to stay. Meanwhile, Zoey began to whimper in her crib, sensing that your about to leave. You comforted each of your children, but your heart ached the most for Zoey, who was already starting to fuss.

As you kissed them one by one and left for work, Zhenya faced the challenge of calming Zoey, who had become increasingly inconsolable. Despite his best efforts—singing, playing, and rocking her gently—Zoey only cried harder, wanting her mommy.

Feeling desperate, Zhenya had a sudden idea. He retrieved a photo of you from their room, taped it over his face, and approached Zoey. To his amazement, the sight of the familiar face instantly soothed Zoey. She stopped crying, stared at the photo, and quietly accepted the bottle Zhenya offered.

Zane and Zion burst into laughter at the sight of their father wearing their mother’s photo like a mask, but Zhenya didn’t mind. His creative solution had worked, and the rest of the day went smoothly.
