I’m 54 & everyone thinks I’m my daughter’s sister – I love the attention but she hates it when I give toyboys my number
A GLAM gran has revealed how she is often mistaken for her daughter’s sister, causing a rift between the two of them.
Andréa Sunshine may be 54 but younger men constantly mistake her for being the same age as her daughter, Jannah, 28.
The super fit gran who regularly works out to keep her slender physique said: “We don’t necessarily argue, but we’ve had disagreements because I enjoy the attention,” Andréa, who works as a life coach and fitness influencer, from London, told What’s The Jam.
She revealed she loved the attention from younger men and is happy to give them her number, but her daughter isn’t as pleased.
Andréa added: “She finds it inappropriate due to the age difference, but it makes me proud of my achievements.
“Sometimes, if someone is attracted to me, they’ll ask her for my number or a way to get closer to me.
“She gets quite angry about this and says that I’m old enough to be their mum.
“Jannah has always been protective of me since she was very young.
“I remember at a music festival, she kept interrupting a conversation I was having with a young man, saying: ‘Did you know she is my mum?’ and he replied: ‘I don’t believe it.’
“I laughed because she was furious with that response.”
The gran claimed the pair have been mistaken as sisters their whole lives, but this has intensified only recently.
Often, they’re approached by men asking for a double date with two sisters – which the mum finds “disgusting”.
She said: “I’ve had a few messages in my inbox from men saying they’d like to date us both.
“It makes me so angry, as the fantasies involving two sisters or mum and daughter together are absurd.
“I’m very conservative about it and family for me is sacred – it should be respected.”
Despite the awkward encounters, Andréa and Jannah are very close friends, regularly doing anything and everything together.
