As our friend Kermit said (man, that sounds funny), it does remind me of “The Little Matchmaker.” I like that you’ve introduced some new characters here, seemingly fashioned of the same cloth as Jeff.

also reminds me of dolly parton song.. me and little andy..

I too thought of matchstick girl out in the cold on Christmas. But adding in miracola is a nice touch!

I hope you enjoy the sequel I’m about to write! :D
