This is my question=> I say to myself that we usually capitalize "Dad" when we are addressing the "dad". But in the above blue sentence we are talking about the dad not addressing him. Look at this example:
1. Can I borrow your car, Dad?
Look at sentence number 1. In it we address dad so we should capitalize "D" but in the blue sentence we are not addressing dad just talking about dad.
So, why should it be capitalized in the blue phrase?
Thank you.

The first 'My Dad' is the title. We use initial capitals for all but conjuntions and prepositions in titles.

'My Dad' is the title of the story or article, and we commonly capitalize evry word in a title.
In addition, Katie thinks of Dad as his name, so it would be hard for her not to use a capital.
