Warning: Ending spoilers ahead.

What Does the Creator Desire

To actually save Emily, you have to choose to Release Elpis during the final decision as Grace in the ARK. Releasing Elpis leads to a boss fight that you'll have to power through, but also to the discovery that Elpis is a cure and, consequently, Emily's survival.

Destroying Elpis leads to Leon's on-screen death and both Emily's and Sherry Birkin's presumed deaths off-screen due to the cure also being lost.

Does Leon Die?

Releasing Elpis leads to Grace adopting Emily

The Good Ending

After releasing Elpis and surviving the boss fight, Leon reveals to Grace that Emily could be alive because he didn't any vital organs. The final scene of this ending also shows Emily being rescued from Rhodes Hill. The post-credits scene reveals that Grace adopted Emily, just as the story revealed that Alyssa adopted Grace when she was a baby, bringing the story arc full circle.

How to Get the Good Ending

Is Saving Emily Canon?

Yes, Emily Surviving is Canon

Releasing Elpis is considered the Good Ending and the canon ending due to it being the ending that leads to a trophy / achievement for game completion and because choosing to Destroy Elpis will lead to a prompt that allows you to reload back to the point of the pivotal choice.
