Between baking bread and eating baklava, she meets and mentors a ten-year-old girl who is determined - against all odds - to become the next golf sensation.

- Well, I've seen her

at the beach a few times

and she says she's

teaching herself golf.

- I thought she

was a bright girl.

- Pappous.

So, where exactly do they live?

Hello?

Hi.

Stella lives this house?

My Yiayia says true but don't know.

- Yes, you definitely

don't know.

- Thank god you speak English,

I'm not even sure

what I just said.

- What matters is that

you're in the right place.

- Oh, good.

- You are Zoe Papadopoulos

the famous professional golfer

and my daughter's new hero.

I'm Marcos Russos, pleasure.

- It's nice to meet you.

I keep running into your Stella,

so I just thought

I should come over

and properly introduce myself.

- Well, thank you.

Well, she tells me she

will be teaching you Greek.

- Yes.

- From what I can tell

it's a great idea.

- I know, it's so embarrassing.

- Look who's here.

- Oh, hi, Stella.

- Hello.

- She tells me you have

the most perfect golf swing

she's ever seen.

- Oh, wow, I don't

know about that,

but thank you,

I'm very flattered.

You know, she's quite the

little golfer herself.

- You wanna come in?

- Okay, thank you.

I can't believe I'm eating

another piece of this,

it's obscene.

- So, you were born in America?

- Chicago, but my

father's from here.

We used to come here and visit

my grandparents every summer.

Actually, the first time

I picked up a golf club

was here at colossus.

- Oh, yes?

And how long are you

staying this time?

- Long enough to help

me with my drive, Baba.

We have a lesson

set for tomorrow.

- Really?

- Yes, well, your

daughter is very focused

and very persuasive.

- Yeah, that she is.

Okay, love...

say goodnight to miss Papadopoulos

and go finish your homework.

Goodnight, Zoe.

Thank you for the dessert.

- You're so welcome,

I'll see you tomorrow.

Goodnight.

- I feel I should thank you.

- Well, I'll pass it

on to my grandmother.

I can't take credit

for her Galaktoboureko.

- No, no, I wanna thank you

for your kindness

towards my daughter.

- Well, it's my pleasure.

She's a very bright

and dedicated girl.

- I just don't want you to feel

that you have to spend

all of your time with her.

You're here visiting

your family.

- No, no, don't worry, it's

just hitting a few golf balls.

It'll be fun.

- Relax.

Come on, let's try again.

- Are you sure you

wanna keep playing

with just this one club?

- I have no choice, it's

the only one I have.

- Really, where did

you get it from anyway?

- Some tourist boy

left it behind.

- I don't know, Stella.

I mean, you really need

a course to play on

and a full set of clubs.

I mean, this cliff

and that five iron

are only gonna take you so far.

- I told you...
