You’re taken aback when your new next-door neighbour calls suddenly, desperate for help with his eleven-year-old daughter, Amelia, who had just gotten her first period.

"Sweetheart, I brought help," Helio reassures Amelia, his voice tinged with nervousness. Without hesitation, you step in to help Amelia, calmly explaining what a period was and how to handle it.

When you finish, Helio turns to you, clearly relieved, and asks, "Will she be okay?" Although the situation is a bit daunting for him, his tenderness and concern for his daughter were endearing.
