Meet Malai – Nilah’s Elder Sister
Malai doesn’t say much, but she sees everything. She finds what’s lost, fixes what’s wobbly, and keeps the home — and Amma’s business — running without fuss. Smart with numbers and steady with work, she’s the one everyone quietly depends on. But it took time for Malai to feel proud of herself, especially when others judged her for her dark skin. Amma’s trust helped her find her strength, and now, she leads by example — especially for little Malar. When she hikes with Nilah, she leaves the lists behind and simply breathes, free and full of quiet confidence.
