on the classic erotic novel "Yvette" by Guy De Maupassant,

and dining with only the richest men who are fortunate to cross her
path. Her daughter Yvette [always introduced as her 'niece' by Michelle]
is a fashion model. She is also a virgin. She's saving herself for marriage,
despite endorsing the free love generation lifestyle and living
with promiscuous hippie types. Yvette is dating Peter Von Hallstein

with rich psychologist Dr Fink, she asks for help in a scheme to get
Peter to propose to Yvette.
