God does care for Esther and He has allowed her to be there for a very special reason as you will find out later on. One day Esther is presented to the king as you can read in Esther 2:16

She was taken to king Xerxes in the royal residence in the tenth month, the month of Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign.

Much preparation has taken place but the day finally arrives for Esther to appear before king Xerxes.
