The Sexy Nerd's Review...
Twins Cassie and Andie live with their mother, Joy Moody, in a smalltown working in their cute bright pink laundromat, Joyful Suds. There are quite a few eccentric neighbors who reside in Bayside alongside Joy and her girls. But that doesn’t matter because Joy and the twins are about to embark on a time traveling journey moving them to the year 2050 where the twins will be 27 years old and meet their futuristic parents.
Ok, say what now? Yes, Joy has been preparing her twins for their journey home to the future of 2050 and today in 2023, the twins turn twenty-one. Wait, the math ain’t mathing, right? Hmm! Cassie and Andie were excited about going to the year 2050. Joy has been preparing them for this very moment in August of 2023 for them to go home and meet the parents they are supposed to be with but something is off.

Joy’s brother came to town for a visit. She hadn’t seen Grant in quite a few years and now all of a sudden he just pops up unexpectedly. He wants to stake his claim to Joyful Suds because their father left it to them and not Joy solely. Joy knew this information was wrong and quickly ushered her brother out of her establishment before the girls would see him. Not only was Joy aggravated by Grant’s resurfacing but a blast from the past came to visit her as well. Could this visitor have something to do with her and the girls going to 2050? Tyler comes unannounced at Joy’s doorstep unbeknownst to her believing he was a customer coming to pickup clothes when he advises that he received a strange message from an Andie and wanted to know if his girlfriend of over 20 years ago had ever set foot in Joy’s place? Joy immediately felt ill at the sight of Tyler and knowing what he truly represented. He was interested in finding Britney, his long lost girlfriend of many years ago. What was Joy’s connection to Britney? Well, Joy wasn’t about to get into this conversation with a strange man she didn’t know. He further advises that he received a notice from History Mystery telling him he may have a relative named Andie. Joy knew at that moment; her time was running out. She had something particularly important to do before her twins returned home for their birthday celebration.
