My helper wants to fast

My helper is from indonesia and today she asked if she can start fasting tomorrow. Her agreement with her agency was that she would not fast while working here. Her main duties are housework, laundry and cooking. i am concerned that she would not be able to take it. She is my first helper. Anyone here have domestic helpers who are fasting? or not fasting? Any advice?

It's incredibly shocking to me that anybody feels that can tell their helper that they can not fast. Can you imagine if any other type of employer insisted upon staff not fasting?! They'd probably be sued for human rights! Let your helper follow her religious practices as is her basic right as a human being.
