Recommendation 3

Hana must choose between helping Chloe or insisting she do her chores.

Chloe looked upset and explained that their mom had asked her to clean the kitchen before their grandparents arrived for lunch. However, Chloe had promised her friend she'd join an online game at the same time. Hana knew their mom relied on them to help out, especially on weekends. As the older sibling, Hana felt a responsibility to support Chloe and ensure everything was ready for their grandparents. But she also understood how much Chloe valued her time with friends. Hana had to decide whether to help Chloe with the chores, allowing her to keep her promise to her friend, or insist that Chloe fulfill her family duties first, risking her sister's disappointment and possibly a tense morning.
