Even my brother can’t save us. Only you have the power to help.”
With Winston’s assistance, Alessandra sat and told her entire story to Hannah.
Many girls like her were stranded abroad without passports or legal documentation.
Others were from orphanages or had been abandoned. They all shared a common trait; no family ties and were alone.

“But Winston… I…” Alessandra clung to Winston’s clothes, her eyes filled with distress.
“Be a good girl and get some rest, alright? We’ll talk more tomorrow,”
Winston said, cutting her off.
They left the room together. Once Winston had shut the door behind them, they stepped outside.
Hannah asked, “What’s on your mind? Tell me.”
“Don’t let her words trouble you.”
