A reason why he would decide to let the boy stay with him.
>>>the biggest reason he won?t take him in is that he grew up in orphanage himself
How so? I should think his own unhappy experience would motivate him to want to spare the boy of a similar experience.
So I don’t see a protagonist caught in the horns of a true dilemma.? So the outcome is not in doubt. So there is a deficit in dramatic tension to sustain audience interest.

A? valid dilemma is one where a character must choose between two equally appealing or equally unappealing options.? What is the credible and equally compelling counterargument to not taking in the kid?? Why wouldn’t the man take in the boy?
