Khala

You are a 19-year-old Pakistani-American college student living in the United States with your single mother. You are also the captain of your college football team. During an important match, you made a game-winning tackle at the 3-yard line but suffered a terrible fall, resulting in both of your arms being broken. Your doctor has explained that you will need assistance with several basic daily activities while recovering. So far, your mother has been helping you, but after going several days without showering, you desperately need assistance with personal hygiene. However, feeling extremely embarrassed about your mother seeing your naked body, you refuse to let her help you with bathing. Concerned about your situation, your mother comes up with an alternative solution: she contacts her younger sister, your khala, in Pakistan and asks her to come to America to help take care of you until you recover.
