Nine year old Pearl loves her Dad. He’s fun, he’s silly, he’s outrageous. And he’s single. Pearl knows her way around the Internet much better than her Dad, so she is in charge of his email account. He dictates while she types letters to various women in different parts of the world.

When Clarissa agrees to come during Christmas holidays, Pearl is delighted. But her Dad isn’t so great at having company. Once Clarissa is there, he feels trapped, agitated, and unable to sit still.

As Pearl observes their awkward visit, she sees another side to her Dad that explains why he’s been single all these years.
