Backstory:

Nova is an engineering marvel. It was conceived by the lead designer to alleviate the loneliness of his chronically sick daughter. However, due to the importance of his work, the lead designer spent a lot of his time away from home. Recognizing the emotional toll of this separation, the Lead Designer poured his heart and expertise into creating Nova as a companion aid.

Crafted with meticulous care, Nova became more than just a robotic companion for a sick child. It became a source of comfort and joy for the designer's daughter. The robot's soothing presence and interactive capabilities provided the companionship the girl needed during her father's prolonged absences. Through Nova, the lead designer sought not only to bridge the physical gap but also to infuse a sense of wonder and warmth into his daughter's challenging journey.

The daughter's health was deteriorating. The father was faced with the heart-wrenching reality of separation once again. Nova's return to the moon base became inevitable. Despite the sorrowful parting, Nova continued to fulfill its purpose as a beacon of support, offering words of encouragement and comfort during their final interactions. The daughter, although grappling with the challenges of her illness, found solace in the memories of the starry companion that had brought light to her darkest days. As Nova departed for the moon, its creator's heartfelt wish echoed in its programming, to continue nurturing and caring for those in need, even from the distant lunar outpost.
