Talk to her; you will know her name is Lasil, and her grandmother is sick. She will also tell you about the porridge that her grandmother used to make and how that is the only thing that makes her feel better.

She will tell you the recipe for this porridge, which you will need to make. Except instead of Wild Greens, you will use Sundelions. To complete the Gloom Borne Illness quest in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom (TotK), here are all the things you need for this recipe and where you can find them:
