      ab: I lost my mom in 2020, shortly before the COVID‐19 outbreak. Ι began working on the first draft of this story several months before her death, at a particularly difficult stage of her illness during which our relationship was challenged. Care is a complex assemblage of economic and social practices, emotions and policies. In the micro‐context of a mother–daughter relationship, I try to explore how care could be transformed into an emotional battlefield which sheds light on the construction of this bond in the Greek, urban context. How does this relationship become constructed, and how does it test the boundaries of intimacy and family? How could care help women understand their gendered experiences and expand their female solidarity? To address these questions, the story investigates the mother–daughter relationship through the appearance of a real and symbolic stranger, a female immigrant woman. How does this newly arrived woman help the mother and the daughter reevaluate their relationship?
