I had a similar case in one of my families. First the mother, then the father died, leaving their 12-year-old daughter Sophola home alone. At first I decided that I'd leave her in the house. However, she was very depressed. When she went and sat on the decking next to the sandbox with the action line "feeling a little bit lonely" I couldn't bear to let her stay like that, changed my mind, and pressed the Next Generation button.

Her big brother Hacker has now inherited the house and is married and has his own little daughter. The game named her Sophella.
