Gap Between granite and backsplash- what can I do?

I have a large gap between newly installed granite and back splash . What can I do? They big box stores don’t have anything to fill in gap
Where and what material is by this gap? Non sanded grout is good for most gaps and comes in many colors to blend in. Post a picture from farther away please.
Could you be more specific in your question? How large is the gap? Is it on the wall, or between the granite and wall? A picture might be helpful as well...
I would buy white/ cream /Black rope tile trim.
Grout is no used between countertop and wall tile. Caulk (normally used) would not work because it's too large a gap. Darciegage2 has the best solution. A pencil tile trim would cover the gap. Big box stores have them.

Looks like you had a new counter installed. the old counter was thicker. I would ask the granite counter guys to provide you with 4" back splash that could be applied to the tile splash, which I see got damaged
I would fill gap with a piece of tile trim. Home depot, tile stores have beautiful trim pieces and applying a trim would give your projuct a finished look.
A piece of wood trim painted to match and cut to fit.
You could use a Ceramic trim or Plastic or Gap Filler used in bathrooms, or Timber trim or mini tiles. etc.
Caulk is a potential solution: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMAc9FlshnM
According to this article you could also use some kind of wood trim: https://www.hunker.com/13412445/how-to-cover-an-unattractive-gap-between-a-granite-countertop-a-tile-backsplash
How wide is the gap?
