They embraced, crying together. “My boss… my mom,” Ana sobbed. Doña Isabel laughed through her tears, “Well, ‘sister,’ now we’re truly family!”

In the following months, Ana stopped working as a maid and began studying Business Administration at a university, supported by her mother. They lived together in Polanco, and every Sunday, they visited the Basilica of Guadalupe. Ana wore both chains—the gold and the silver—around her neck.
