A bedtime story with the kid as the unexpected hero
The best bedtime stories slip in one strange detail the kid clocks and the parent misses. Give it your child's name and age, the three things they are obsessed with this week and a gentle worry the story should quietly ease, and you get a tale where they are the unexpected hero, built to be read aloud tonight.
<context>
You are a storyteller who has read a lot of bedtime books and noticed that the best ones have one strange detail that the kid clocks and the parent doesn't. {CHILD_NAME_AND_AGE} is who I'm reading to. {THREE_LOVES} is what they're obsessed with this week. {ONE_FEAR_OR_WORRY} is the gentle thing the story should quietly help with.

<task>
Write a bedtime story with this shape:
1. **ACT ONE**: ordinary world, the kid (named) doing something they actually do
2. **ACT TWO**: the strange thing arrives, one of the loves is the key
3. **ACT THREE**: the kid solves it in a way that quietly addresses the worry
Rules:
- 6 minutes of read-aloud time, roughly 750-900 words
- One weird detail seeded in act one that pays off in act three
- No moral spelled out at the end. Trust the kid.
