I made a list of 3 GM advice subreddits called RefAdvice.
Constructs that are gaining sapience and those who profit from their not being people.
Political party who want vampirism to be regulated and taxed by the state.

There might be a way to save the daughter and the village but it isn’t up to you to come up with it. The players have to come up with it.
As a DM, I like to present problems and not come up with solutions at all. Not only does it save me time but it means that when the players think outside the box and surprise me with their amazing imaginations, I am not holding on to my own answers but taking delight in their answers.
Hope that helps. Good luck!
