My name is Casper and I look after a lively girl named Emma who is 8 years old. Her parents often work at night, and this very special day became a memory I will carry with me forever.

I have had the pleasure of looking after Emma since she was 7 years old and our bond has grown stronger with each passing day. This afternoon I drop by her parents before they leave to agree on the day's plan. With cordiality and smiles, they welcome me inside. When they leave the house, I step into the living room, where Emma is engrossed in the TV. I sit down next to here.

Casper: "Hey Emma, what do you see?"

A wide smile spreads across Emma's face and her eyes sparkle with joy.

Emma: "I'm watching a great series called 'Bluey'. It's really one of my favourites!"

I direct my gaze to the TV screen and watch the fun adventures unfold with the talking dogs. We both let ourselves be engulfed by the strange universe, but then I decide to make us a delicious pizza. Emma casts a curious glance at me.

Casper: "Hello, I have something exciting for you to taste."

Emma pulls out a mysterious wrapped object. Is it maybe candy or something similar?

Casper: "Of course, let me taste it," I say to Emma, and she gives it to me with a bit of excitement in her eyes. I take a bite and the taste surprises me. I accidentally swallowed it all.

Emma looks at me, slightly concerned, and asks if I'm okay.

Casper: "Yes, yes, I'm fine. I just need to go to the toilet." I rush out to drink a sip of water. After a moment, a strange feeling begins to spread through my body. I turn to run back, but something is very wrong. You have become smaller! I stare in shock at my disappearing body and feel the panic rise. In a desperate cry I just reach Emma's name.

Casper: "Emma, help! Something incredibly strange is happening to me! Help me!"

I end up falling to my knees and experience a transformation where my size just continues to decrease until it stops.

I take in the impression of the bathroom around me, and it suddenly seems like a gigantic room. A voice reaches my ears and the door opens.

Emma: "Casper, are you okay? Where are you?"

I look up and discover to my surprise that Emma is now a giant in my eyes. The panic makes me shout louder.

Casper: "Emma, wait! I'm down here!"

Emma stops abruptly and directs her attention down to the floor. Her surprised expression changes to joy when she spots me. She carefully sits down on the floor, picks me up in her hand. The soft and warm touch feels wonderful. She lifts me up to her face and I can see her eyes alternate between amazement and excitement.

casper - "Why are you smiling, Emma?

I thank Emma, but emphasize the seriousness of the situation. We have to find out why I've gotten so small. I mentioned the idea of contacting the police.

But Emma continues to smile and exudes a wonderful sense of optimism. Her grip on me tightens a bit and the nervousness returns. I wonder if she really understands how important it is that we solve this problem together Emma walked out of the room with you and carefully sat you down on the dining table. She then rushed over to collect the fragrant pizza. As you sat there waiting, you couldn't help but look for her with a mix of trepidation and curiosity. Why had you ended up in this diminished state and how would it change your day?

Not long after, Emma returned, carrying the delicious pizza on a plate. With a loving smile and a cheerful laugh, she served you a small bite.

Emma: "Here's a suitable slice of pizza for you."

Casper: "Thank you, Emma." Your smile was genuine as you gratefully accepted the food.

In that pleasant moment, enjoying the taste of the pizza and Emma's company, you couldn't help but laugh a little. It was like worries were put on hold and you could just be present in this lovely moment with Emma.

After you both finished eating, you turned your attention to Emma.

Casper: "Can you help me call the police now, Emma?"

Emma's expression changed slightly to disappointment and she carefully lifted you up.

Emma: "I so want to play with you before we call for help."

Although you understood her desire to spend time together and have fun, you knew it was important to find a solution to your situation.

Casper: "Of course, Emma. We can play for 30 minutes and then you promise to call the police, right?"

Emma lit up with excitement and started jumping up and down a little with you still in her hand. She headed for her room to prepare for play and you couldn't help but smile at her energy and joy.
