How is a parent in bumfuck nowhere, Russia, supposed to do that, exactly?
I am as pro-Russian-exit as probably most here, but that is a delusional proposition. That’s like saying you were an office clerk in Wyoming, and could end the Iran attacks anytime. You and the Russian rando have pretty much the same leverage in my books.

My guess would be that he is telling her answers in the first panel (maybe to court her), she tags him along after class, he thinks he will be getting some as a “thank you” in the third panel, but she has him do her assignment instead.
As often seen in the series, subverting an expectation of the time, and having her “weaponize” her femininity for personal gains (without ever really selling out to men).
