Five-year-old Layla Lester, who has autism, loves princesses.

When Layla spotted a woman posing for her wedding day photos in the park, Layla was certain she was Cinderella.

Olivia Sparks, a heavy equipment operator by day, not only welcomed Layla, she played along.

"I was more than happy to be Cinderella for that little girl," Sparks said.

She talked with Layla for a while before telling her she had to get back to the ball.

But that's not the end to this real life fairy tale.

Since their chance meeting, Sparks has stayed in touch with Layla and continues to visit her as Cinderella.

"They love each other," said Layla's mom, Jessica. "She's the epitome of a true princess."
