Tell her she'll have to face the consequences of her own actions (-1 Husband point)

You shook your head at your daughter. "Kyler, I can't believe you did something so stupid." You felt torn between your love for her and your frustration at her reckless behavior. "You need to face the consequences of your actions," you told her firmly.

Her eyes filled with tears, Kyler's voice was shaky. "But dad, it's just stuff. I didn't mean to get caught. Can't you just...help me out?"

You sigh heavily, feeling the weight of the decision on your shoulders. "No, Kyler, I can't." You say firmly. "You need to learn from this and make it right." You hand over the money for the stolen jewelry and tell the security guard to handle the situation as he sees fit. You don't have the extra funds to bribe him, and you're not going to let your daughter think she can get out of trouble so easily.

The guard nods, looking slightly surprised at your response. Kyler's eyes widen as she realizes you're not going to save her this time. "But dad, please..." she begs, her voice trembling.

You leave the security office, feeling a mix of disappointment and resolve. The sting of the situation is palpable as you walk back towards the mall's exit. Your mind is racing, trying to figure out how to handle the conversation with Ava. You know she'll be heartbroken, and the thought of losing points with her is a bitter pill to swallow.
