per riparare, aveva cercato di essere particolarmente premurosa con Miss XY


Explanation:
Io non tradurrei "for them" perchè in italiano la frase risulterebbe un po' pesante ed userei "premurosa" più che gentile perchè la parola "premura" dà proprio l'idea di un'eccessiva sollecitudine.
Buon lavoro.
