Can someone translate this sentence literally? わざわざ目の前にある窓を閉めてもらうために私を大声で呼んだの?しかも、別の部屋から。 The context is father asking daughter to close the window. I have trouble understanding how "わざわざ目の前にある" and "ために" is used in this sentence, can somebody explain this?

I'm missing a bit of context so I'm not entirely sure but this is what I think: It sounds like this is the daughter's response to her father asking her to close the window. Literally: わざわざ Especially/specially/going out of your way 目の前にある窓 The window right in front of your eyes を閉めてもらう Asking me to close it ために For that reason 私を大声で呼んだの? You called me loudly? しかも Moreover 別の部屋から。 From another room In a natural way of expressing this: You went out of your way to shout for me to come from another room just to close a window that's right in front of you? Hope that helps!
