Being the baby, the only girl, the albino in a highly superstitious culture, her mother had been highly protective of Sunny for years despite the fact that she was objectively the child with the most sense (and the least to be afraid of, but Mama couldn't know that). She was still overprotective, though overseas she couldn't do very much other than fuss over Skype.
