About

If You Had 24 Hours With Me And I Couldn't Say No What Would We Do? refers to a TikTok trend in which a person films themselves, often in attractive clothing, asking the viewer what they would do with them if they had 24 hours alone with them and they couldn't say no, baiting for answers via Stitches.
