Unfortunately you do need both devices to manually transfer your save from one device to another since Stardew saves in local (on device) files and does not currently make use of the cloud. If there's anyone at home with access to your phone, you could get them to put it to the cloud for you (in theory). Though if there's no one to do this, you may have to wait until you get home. As long as you still have the old device, it can be easily transferred once you have both in hand.
I gave an example here on how to how to back up your stardew iOS files (copying game save files from local device to the cloud):
You can find more information on saves on the wiki here:

It is fairly straight forward once you have access, good luck!
PS. Sorry to hear you're locked without your prior game's Penny.

Saves - Stardew Valley Wiki
The game saves progress when the in-game day ends, i.e., when the farmer goes to bed, collapses from exhaustion, or collapses at 2am. All progress during a day is lost if the player quits the game without ending the day. In multiplayer, the game saves after all players click through the prompts...

On mobile, Stardew Valley's save method is based upon the system used for computers, but with some additions to make it more suited to mobile devices.

I see!! Thank you, unfortunately I left my phone at the airport so I don’t think I’ll get it back anytime soon, but thank you so much for your helpUnfortunately you do need both devices to manually transfer your save from one device to another since Stardew saves in local (on device) files and does not currently make use of the cloud.

You're welcome. Oh, that's a bummer to have your phone so far away. At least she will be waiting for you when you (hopefully) get it back, I guess.
