Courts generally do not enforce a promise against the person who made it (the promisor) unless the person the promise was made to (the promisee) has given up something in exchange for the promise. In effect, the requirement of consideration requires a promise to pay the "price" the promisor asked for in order to gain the right to enforce the promisor's promise. In the given scenario, Uli will not be able to enforce Kate's promise if he has not done anything in return.
