When Meg and Charles Wallace first meet her, who does Mrs. Who say needs their help?

He asks her if she knows Calvin, and she answers that “I think he's a good one.” Then she says that “he needs our help,” and when Meg asks who “he” is, Mrs. Who tells her it's her father. She then sends them off with another quote, imploring them to eat up and get some rest.

yes this is an analog in my view
