RBF was all about the sender. He messed up and needed to increase the fee, or he wanted to be smart and combine transactions for a variety of reasons. It was a powerful sender-oriented feature. In some ways, CPFP is RBF's opposite, because it empowers the recipient who knows that his money hasn't arrived yet and wants to speed it up. However, it's also a much simpler feature, with less wide applicability.
Basically, the idea of CPFP is that a recipient has a transaction that hasn't been confimed in a block that he wants to spend. So, he includes that unconfirmed transaction in a new transaction and pays a high-enough fee to encourage a miner to include both the original (parent) transaction and the new (child) transaction in a block. As a result, the parent and child transactions clear simultaneously.

As a result, the parent and child transactions clear simultaneously.
It should be noted that CPFP is not a new protocol feature, like RBF. It's just a new incentivization scheme that can be used for transaction selection by miners. This also means that it's not as reliable as a protocol change like RBF: there might be reasons that the parent is never put into a block, and that will prevent the child from ever bring put into a block.

Look through the `vout` array. Find the the object that matches your address. (Here, it's the only one.) The `n` value is your `vout`. You now have everything you need to create a new CPFP transaction.
