OverTilde to far on the right with Italic Letters

Questions

Hello,

I would like to have a tilde over an italic p with the FontFamily “Times”. I tried following:

In[4]:= Style[OverTilde[p], FontFamily -> "Times", 20, Italic]

but the overtilde appears to far on the right side for my taste.
Can you help me?

Thank you,
Igor Igel
