@helpstrcys gets a randomish starter!
Finnegan slid the contract towards Gabby. The pages and pages his PR team had drawn up, that he’d spent his lunch hour reading, were filled with legal jargon, but it boiled down to one thing:
PR wanted to contract Mia’s social media accounts. Apparently, she had enough followers now to do the company a service and when they’d told Finnegan they wanted to use his daughter as a way to get the company name out there, make them relevant among teenagers, Finnegan had to fight the urge to ship Mia off to a boarding school without WiFi, somewhere in the Alps. Now, sitting at his desk he understood why PR didn’t want his only heir running an Instagram unchecked, but...
“They want to pay her to make social media posts,” he said. “Get her a social media manager, sponsorship from other brands, a makeup artist...”
Finnegan knew all about this kind of contract. He had a similar one - a less sizable deal he’d cut a few years ago. He’d given up more money in exchange for more control over his image. He worried Mia would not make the same choice, if given the chance.
Or that if she did, she would use her newfound fame and elevated platform without any kind of foresight.
“Until she’s eighteen, I have the right to accept or reject it for her, but I wanted to know what you thought before I did anything.”
Before Mia knows about it.
Finnegan wanted to present a united front against his daughter. He knew her. She’d want her way and would do anything to get it. But with Gabby’s support... Finnegan knew all about contracts and alliances and endorsements. Who better to partner with in parenting Mia than Gabby?
