daddy's girl
Papa's little princess
A daddy's girl is a daughter who has an especially close bond with her father, often receiving his particular affection and indulgence.
The term can be affectionate or faintly critical, suggesting she's spoiled or favored: She's always been a daddy's girl.
In adult contexts, it sometimes carries sexual overtones—a woman attracted to older men or one who enjoys a submissive role with a dominant partner.
