[ Sorry, Ido -- your daughter can't come to the phone right now. Why? Because she's currently in the process of starting her brand new life as a runaway, that's why.
Well, that, and the fact that seeing her father's name pop up on her caller ID fills her with a sense of dread because that means that Herr Ewald did in fact get in touch with him. And that also means that he definitely told him what she said, and she doesn't think she wants to deal with the aftermath of that right now. That's the reason she ran away from home, after all! So after the fifth or so ring, it goes right to voicemail: ]
Hallo, this is Clarith! I'm so sorry I missed your call, but please leave a message after the beep, and I'll get back to you as soon as I can!
THIS MADE ME LAUGH SDLKFMFG but heck yeah!! 🥳
