Good point. She could always put on a nice blue check dress (like Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz), her hair in pigtails...widen her eyes, and look up pleadingly while sucking a lollipop and twisting one of her pigtails. Maybe her Dad will be so shocked he'll give in...
And if she wanted to scare her dad into it, she can do better than a wolf. All those experiences with crazy Koreans and Slovenians must've taught her a thing or two about desperate measures.
