Sarah was a stay-at-home mom who provided support and guidance to Alice, teaching her about the world and making her favorite dishes. Despite being busy, they always made time for Alice, taking her on family trips to explore the nearby forests and encouraging her love of reading and writing. As Alice prepared to leave Willow Creek, she carried their love and support with her, remaining grateful for the childhood they had provided.
