The problem with good person is:

Are you a good girl? = OwO

Are you good boy? = OwO

Are you a good person? = hmm

Feels a bit more philosophical.

    Yeah. Girl and Boy, are not just about masc/fem gender, they are also a bit of a cute infantilization.

    "Person", carries an unsexy amount of respect.

    We're not culturally at a stage where "Kid" can be used without mental connections to the real violence, I think.

    My bet for the best available workaround, would probably be to just let the word stand on its own:

    "Have you been good?"

    "You're so good for me ❤️"

    "Oh my god how good can you be, so cute 🥰"
