SUMMARY
The story begins after the mother, SHIRLEY LARKIN, passed away due to cancer, leaving the father, BRIAN, and his 8-year-old daughter, TAYLOR, deeply in grief. Brian is a busy tomato factory manager who used to neglect his family and now doesn't know how to communicate with his daughter. Taylor couldn't accept her mother's departure and kept sending messages to Shirley's Instagram account, hoping to get a response.
Seeing his daughter unable to sleep at night and depressed during the day, Brian, in pain and helplessness, made a decision: he logged into Shirley's Instagram account and began to reply to Taylor from "Heaven" in Shirley's voice. This kind lie immediately had an effect: Taylor became cheerful because she could reconnect with her "mother", and even began to share with Brian through her "mother's" encouragement the things in her life, such as playing the lead role in "Swan Lake" at school. Brian took this opportunity to try his best to integrate into his daughter's life, learning to prepare lunch for her, braid her hair and participate in extracurricular activities. The relationship between the father and daughter gradually warmed up as they jointly sought out Shirley's secret "Pasghetti" recipe and prepared to participate in the Little Italian Pasta Competition. Brian also began to truly learn how to become the kind of father Taylor needed.
However, Brian's difficult balance between work and family led to a crisis. He was late and left early because of the frequent pick-up and drop-off of Taylor. Even on an important night when Taylor performed "Swan Lake" at her school, he missed a crucial meeting between the company and potential investor WALTHERS. Although he eventually submitted the quarterly report, his absence deeply disappointed CEO NEIL. As a result, brian was suspended for six months. This suspension had a huge impact on Brian's identity as a "breadholder", but it also forced him to focus all his energy on his family.
