You're not looking at it right. Not only did she not have to pay for a boy, she even scored $30.

She's not a tanuki, she's a raccoon.

Are you well? Do you have brain damage?
The North American raccoon is not native to the old world and has the name "araiguma" ["washing bear", as with the common name of raccoons in other languages] in Japanese.
In fact, all of Procyonidae are new world animals.
The tanuki has been the folkloric and literal cousin of the fox in Japan for as long as Japanese have cared about enshrining foxes. That may itself be a relatively recent thing if you believe the observations of Lafcadio Hearn, but the point is that the animals are paired off.
Tanuki are in Canidae and got the unfortunate "procyonoides" added to their species rather than family or genus when John Edward Gray decided to give them the nomenclature "night wandering raccoon" in 1834 on account of looking like a raccoon.
Do not confuse these darling puffball almost-foxes for grabby handed thieves.
