I’m embarrassed for the daughter. Sitting there in France as a “damsel in distress” waiting for daddy to come rescue her.
Don't bother being embarrassed for her. On the phone last night, she was frightened as she had been at the stadium when the bombs went off and had finally gotten back to her room. Yes, she wanted her father to come get her. She had no way to defend herself and she would have to leave that room to get food.
Perhaps you would not have cared if your daughter was there - she would merely have been a "damsel in distress" as you say. You would let her fend for herself. I would have hired a plane just like he did and go get her which he is doing right now.
