Empathy, friendship and the joy of caring.

Joe and Ella are a great team - they make each other laugh, help each other out and tackle all the chores their busy lives throw at them. But one morning things begin to change, as Joe gets all tangled up and Ella has to do things alone. Will she be able to continue as before or will it all get too much? If only she had a little help...
