I was raised to stay in my lane–composed, careful, and camera-ready.

He's about to grab the wheel.

Is it still a father-daughter road trip when your dad outsources himself?

To add insult to injury, the flip-flop wearing driver he sent in his place, is infuriatingly friendly, impossibly laidback, and far too tempting.
