We all wish that, one day, the nondescript being will become a hero by a miracle. The willing aunt in your story fulfils all our wishes. She took a challenge and carried it through to the end, i.e. she set an example for the formula of success. 1: Decide what to do. 2: Start doing it and 3. Getting to the end.

Good story, @gabmr. You put smiles on the reader's face!
