      I wouldn’t reveal the “framed and imprisoned” part in the logline, but rather begin with…

      A young daughter must somehow care for her little brother while their father faces life in prison.

      or something more general about the task at hand. That’s? pretty daunting and powerful without giving away much and staying lean at 17 words.

      This reads very well. The only comment I think is worth making is about the clarity of the goal. What is her primary goal free the father or care for the brother?
      Hint, it can’t be both…

      Freeing the father may be an objective along the way to caring for the brother, but only one of these can be the ‘A’ plot goal. If it is to care for the brother, the goal needs clarification – what does “…care for her little brother…” mean?

      Does she want custody over him? Does she want to save him from evil foster parents? Will she break him out of an orphanage and run away with him to a safe house? Whatever it is she must do to care for him, it needs to be described with more specificity in the logline.

      Agree with Nir Shelter that the logline ought to be framed in terms of a singular — not a dual — objective goal.? Because the defining characteristic of a plot is that it possess a unitary goal — one overarching objective goal that creates the? singular”spine” of the narrative.? Or the analogy that I visualize for my own purposes, the one objective goal provides a singular clothesline on which everything else hangs, all the characters all the twists and turns of the plot and plot threads.

      It seems to me that?exonerating her father is her overarching plot goal — the clothesline on which everything else should hang.? Maintaining custody and taking care of her little brother is a complication — and a good one — to? achieving? that objective goal.? (How old is she, anyway?) But exonerating her father should be her objective goal? because it would solve her secondary dramatic problem of maintaining custody and providing for her little brother.

      fwiw
