Big picture view:

In the ad, McCallister is preparing to defend his home and protect his aging mother from everyday dangers. While setting up his safety plan outside, Old Man Marley’s granddaughter is shoveling the sidewalk. 

"Have you tried to talk to her about getting a little help?" she asks.

She continues, "The scariest part is starting that conversation, then at least you'll know and can stop worrying about it. It's not easy. But how you feel about family is a complicated thing."

Other spots from the ad campaign show Kevin ordering pizza and carrying heavy grocery bags – nods to the original movie.

Home Instead provides safe and consistent care for loved ones as they age, delivered at home with comfort and transparency, according to the company.
