In the figure below, $ABCD$ is a square piece of paper 6 cm on each side. Corner $C$ is folded over so that it coincides with $E$, the midpoint of $\overline{AD}$. If $\overline{GF}$ represents the crease created by the fold such that $F$ is on $CD,$ what is the length of $\overline{FD}$? Express your answer as a common fraction.
