  Release Date: 04.15.2021 Synopsis: What could be more humiliating than your father telling an almost perfect stranger that you’re single? I’ll tell you what—proposing  MARRIAGE  to him! That’s exactly what my father did. He basically tried to barter me off like a horse. Admittedly, said single dude was a veritable smoke show. Besides being exceptionally panty-melting, he was also a complete jackass. Until the douche of my baby daddy showed up—and not for a friendly visit—insisting on gaining custody of our daughter. Said panty-melting jackass rode in on his white stallion, rescuing me from the clutches of the aforementioned douche . I never imagined Panty-Melter would turn out to be my knight in shining armor. Maybe Dad’s idea wasn’t so crazy after all. And  this was how I found myself considering that insane proposal .
