This spot features a father who looks back on his first daughter, Emma, through the years. We start in the present with her getting married, and then see her as a student on an expedition in Spain. Further continuous flashbacks find her as a school crossing guard, as a youngster who forget about some cookies in the oven which started a small house fire, and as a kid who thought it was a good joke to turn the water hose on in her dad's car. Along every step of the way the Automobile Club was there offering support through insurance coverage, travel and other services.
