NPC Following Player Help

I’ve been working on a project and have a part that I want to have in it where the player helps escort an NPC. The problem is that I’m not sure how to do so.

I won’t include a link to the game, I really hope that won’t be a problem. I just need to know if there’s some way to do this. I’ve been looking through the forums and while I’ve seen examples for objects like missiles and enemies to follow the player (essentially a homing missle), I don’t think it’s what I’m looking for. (Just imagine like in Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire when you have Wally follow you in the beginning. That’s what I want.)

I think it’s important to mention that the game is a top-down styled game.

hmmmmmmmmm

I have a new example that might help with this:
