Overview
A creator, playing the role of a 'bougie gay uncle,' is approached by his niece's boyfriend who asks for his blessing to propose. The uncle proceeds to interrogate the boyfriend with a series of rapid-fire questions about his proposal plans, knowledge of his niece's preferences, skincare routine, and social life.

Better, honey, you gotta have a plan. How long have you been dating? Almost three years. Three years. I don't have a plan. What's your coffee order? Oat milk latte, one pump vanilla, extra hot. Not bad. Do you get it for her? Did she get it for herself? I mean, both. It just kinda depends on the day. Okay. Skincare. What are you using? I I use Irish Spring. Unless I I run out and then sometimes I use her fancy stuff for my bottle. Forget it. We'll get to that later. Her friends. What do they think of you? I think they like me. Her friend Melissa took a while, but I think we're good now. What did you do to Melissa? I didn't do anything to Melissa. I I offered her a jello shot. I didn't know they weren't vegan.
