^ Bits of that scene is coming back to me. Maya told a story about the night when she was five-years-old, and she was scared of a storm outside her apartment. Then Katy came in and she made the entire night an adventure by telling her that they were in Alaska, looking for gold, and that the lightning was the Northern Lights. That distraction made Maya feel better until the storm passed.
How about
Because Katy came in and made it Alaska, and Maya wasn't scared at all?
