Nisi and Mickey are best friends who work as waitresses. To get the necessary money for opening their dream restaurant, they fly to California to audition for a music video. There Nisi is asked by the nephew of Mr. Blakemore’s (who is video director) to act for a week as granddaughter of Lily, Mr. Blakemores one true love, whom he lost long ago and couldn’t pursue because she was his family’s housekeeper. Hilarity ensues, they revive Mr. Blakemore’s interest for life, and he inspires them emerge as “Black American Princesses”.
