In the video, Earle revealed that her sister tried finding a guy for herself but was "literally only finding, like, old men there (abroad)."
Ashtin said on the Paris episode of 'Hot Mess' podcast, "I got asked out on, like, three dates my first week being there by creepy old men. So, like, it doesn't really. It doesn't really count, though, when they're creepy old men."

Earle revealed that she chose to create an account for her sister on the dating app Bumble "because the women make the choice, and Ashtin should be in control."
She further said, "Also, Bumble Premium has a travel mode, so she can use it while she's traveling and bopping around." The conversation revolved around Ashtin, whom Earle dubbed as a "travel girl who enjoys being windy" and dining without a partner.
Earle also talked about the settings and premium benefits of the app which made her fans believe that she is advertising the dating app.
At the end of the video, Earle connected with her sister on a video call and said to her, "Ashtin, I'm setting you up on dates. Oh, my god. I'm gonna be your dating manager."
