Karli had already been introduced on Sesame Street as a puppet in foster care earlier this year but viewers now will understand why her mother had to go away for a while. It’s part of Sesame Street‘s outreach project Sesame Street in Communities, available online.
She is joined in another segment by 10-year-old Salia Woodbury, whose parents are in recovery.
