Dear Not-So-Evil Witch

Dear Witch,
I address you thusly mainly to keep your identity private.
I say "dear" because, you know what, you are not a bad person really.
You are smart, and can be kind, when you are not misguided or confused.
I've seen you help people.
Just, please, now, help that little step-child of yours.
You have the means to do so.
You've taken excellent care of other babies.
You can do this.
You have immense power over this precious baby's life,
 while she has none over anything at all.
She is a just a child.
Don't glare at her.
Don't criticize her.
Don't take away her privileges.
Try instead to lead her in the right direction
 with cooing, rewards, love, and appreciation.
Watch your world blossom as this child blossoms.
Your power struggles with her biological family are separate from your role in her life.
