The playful incident, shared in a TikTok video by the granddaughter, has sparked smiles and conversations about cultural values and generational differences.

The granddaughter explained that the outfit was fine and added that she could wear a sweater to cover up if her grandmother was concerned. Her response highlighted the balance many young Ghanaians living abroad try to maintain between personal style and family expectations.
