That's probably just one of the weekly NPC desires. You get a bigger relationship boost if you give them what they want while they're represented with that special red icon on the map.

It can be hard to get a Flower Scooper before you get to Ingall's Mine, but I don't think it's impossible. You might get one as a daily commission reward if you finish a commission that's stamped with that red thumbs-up stamp.
