A mother who enjoyed
In an Instagram post, Mary Grace Pingoy, a photographer from Indiana, declared that Peik Lin, the hilarious sidekick to Constance Wu’s Rachel Chu, was her favorite character.
Apparently, that adoration extended to one-year-old Liliana, who managed to get through a series of wonderful impression shots.
Liliana’s brother, Jonah, also made an appearance as Ken Jeong’s Wye Mun — Peik Lin’s equally-comical dad.
It did not take long before Awkwafina took notice of her mini-me and replied, “Omg I am crying rn.”
Pingoy, a Filipino-American, praised the most successful rom-com film in nearly a decade for its positive representation.
“So proud of this movie and what it means to celebrate the beauty of Asians around the world and can’t really explain how amazing it feels to be represented in a positive and non-stereotypical way on the big screen.
“Had all the feels watching it, Thank you @jonmchu for making this movie. Hope you enjoy this cuteness!”

While Liliana’s too young to see the movie, she certainly enjoyed her photoshoot — as she did with Wonder Woman last year.
Keep rocking, Lily!
