A TikTok video showing a little girl embracing her domestic helper who returned from her leave left many South Africans feeling warm and fuzzy on the inside.
The video – which has received more than half a million views and uploaded by TikToker @crystalveronicag – shows the little girl sitting at a table playing with her toys when all of a sudden she jumps up after seeing the helper open the front door.
Barely inside the house, the helper is seen holding the little girl in her arms and getting smothered in hugs and kisses.
The viral video then ends with the duo entering the home and the little girl showing off her toys on the table.
“When your helper gets back from leave and you don’t know whether it’s your kid, your dogs or you that are more excited,” read the caption on the video.
