Been stuck on this for a while

I'm trying to figure out how to implement the method from what I learned so far in the course but I'm just not getting it for this code challenge.

Do I have to edit the index.js file aswell?

index.js 
var utilities = require("./utilities");

var mailValues = {};

mailValues.first_name = "Janet";

var emailTemplate = "Hi %first_name%! Thanks for completing this code challenge :)";

var mergedContent = utilities.merge(emailTemplate, mailValues);

//mergedContent === "Hi Janet! Thanks for completing this code challenge :)";
utilities.js 
function merge(content, values) {
  for (var key in values) {
  content = "Hi %" + values[key] + "%! Thanks for completing this code challenge :)"
  }

  return content;
}


module.exports.merge = merge;
