She wrote over her video, which shows the granddad watching the show while trying to navigate the voting system:
“My neighbor calls me every Tuesday to ask me to vote for his granddaughter on his behalf. It’s his way of supporting her since he’s not good with phones. I decided to spend some time with him and show him how. He’s the sweetest proud grandpa.”
Her grandfather isn’t only showing his support by voting, though! He is also seen in the video decked out in a shirt with the words “Whark It,” along with a picture of Whitney and Mark dancing together.
