    get_stylesheet_directory() retrieves the child-theme’s directory.
    If you want to retrieve the parent-theme’s directory use get_template_directory() instead or even better loacate_template() – This way Wordpress automatically uses your child themes directory to look for your resource – if there is a child-theme-file present it will use this one instead. No need for enqueuing anything.
