In this work, we propose a solution to both anomalies in an economical fashion via a light scalar that emerges from a second Higgs doublet and resides in the $O(10)$-MeV to $O(1)$-GeV mass range yielding the right sizes and signs for these deviations due to one-loop and two-loop dominance for the muon and the electron, respectively. A scalar of this type is subject to a number of various experimental constraints, however, as we show, it can remain sufficiently light by evading all experimental bounds and has the great potential to be discovered in the near-future low-energy experiments. The analysis provided here is equally applicable to any BSM scenario for which a light scalar is allowed to have sizable flavor-diagonal couplings to the charged leptons. In addition to the light scalar, our theory predicts the existence of a nearly degenerate charged scalar and a pseudoscalar, which have masses of the order of the electroweak scale. We analyze possible ways to probe new-physics signals at colliders and find that this scenario can be tested at the LHC by looking at the novel process $pp H^H^jj l^l^j j + E\!\!\!\!/_T$ via same-sign pair production of charged Higgs bosons.
