This is a sweet story with a gentle arc. Sometimes good deeds are rewarded. You created the at the beginning of the story with skill. We can see the elderly woman weary, timid about crossing the street. We can see your protagonist's kind face, as she selflessly offers to help.

A magical green pea. Why not? You handle the prompt and the voice well. The protagonist is struggling but not disconsolate. There is room in heart for kindness.
