As the month of love unfolds, the heart-warming tale of an American grandmother's creative spark shines through, bringing joy to both her and her grandchild.
In an endearing attempt to bolster her grandparental bond, the grandmother, inspired by her daughter’s new motherly role, has embarked on a charming venture: producing educational content for kids.
And yes, it was all a response to a little jealousy ignited by none other than Ms Rachel, the popular children’s content creator.
Rachel Anne Accurso, widely recognised as Ms Rachel, has swept the hearts of children and parents alike with her YouTube series, “Songs for Littles”, designed to enhance language development among infants and toddlers.
It is no surprise that her engaging videos have captivated countless young viewers, including a certain little girl named Heavenly.

A recent TikTok video shared by content creator and new mother, Tresure Heaven, revealed the delightful backstory behind this new grandmotherly venture.
"So my mom got jealous that Heavenly is liking Ms Rachel over her, so she decided to make her own video," Tresure said with laughter, as she introduced her mother’s ambitious project.
In the video that quickly amassed over 1.2 million views, the grandmother is seen enthusiastically singing and reciting an alphabet song, showcasing the palpable effort and spirit she poured into creating this piece.
“Would you subscribe to my mum’s children’s channel?” Tresure quipped, her affection for her mother clear even amidst the jest.
Tresure elaborated on the story behind her mum’s feelings, noting that the grandmother's daily interactions with Heavenly were always filled with laughter and affection.
However, the situation took a comedic turn when, during a video call, Heavenly chose to ignore her grandmother, completely enamoured with Ms Rachel’s content. “My mum couldn’t handle it,” Tresure remarked, affectionately detailing the humorous, yet poignant, competition for her daughter’s attention.
Commenters on TikTok were quick to share their delight and amusement at this unexpected familial rivalry.
Responses included evaluations of the grandmother’s effort, with one user noting, “She put a LOT of effort in that video!!! She deserves her views lol.”
Others chimed in with relatable humour about the playful dynamics of grandparent-grandchild relationships, such as, “We got Ms Rachel at home,” perfectly capturing the sentiment of “keeping it in the family”.
This fun and touching narrative encapsulates the innate desire of grandparents to connect with their grandchildren, often resulting in creative and humorous outcomes.
With Grandma joining the ranks of children's educators on social media, one has to wonder how far her dedication will take her in this new, playful contest.
