OPTION 2 - Google Meet

You can set up a Google Meet with the person you want to call and share the Google Meet phone number with the individual.   You do not need to have a video call, simply a phone conference via Google Meet.  The number that will be share with the parent is most likely from a New York extension.   That is the number the parent will see. 

 

Option 3 - *67

 Using the *67 feature on your cell phone will allow your number to be blocked from the receiver.  The receiver will see that the number is either "restricted" or " blocked".
