Sister And Mom Disguised As Elderly Couple Surprise Brother

A man was left frozen in shock when an ‘elderly couple’ sat in the corner of a bar turned out to be his mom and sister who he hadn’t seen since before the pandemic dressed in disguise. Luke Mahony, 24, hadn’t seen mom Julie, 50, since July 2019, and sister Kate, 20, since October 2018. Luke lives in Melbourne, Australia, whereas his mom and sibling live in Mandurah, thousands of miles away on the other side of the country. The pandemic took an emotional and financial toll on Luke, who could not travel home – and due to Australia's strict lockdown laws, Julie and Kate couldn’t travel to Melbourne and make a two-week quarantine work around their jobs with the costs involved. But when Western Australia's government began to loosen restrictions for its residents, Julie and Kate planned a trip as soon as possible. Kate wanted to dress up and surprise her brother, and having settled on dressing as an elderly couple, she and Julie purchased the costumes and informed Luke's work colleagues of their plans. Luke works at the Carlton Club, a cocktail bar in the city, and so Kate and Julie donned their outfits and quietly sat in the corner on the rooftop on March 3. He initially walked past his mom and sister, then, with a camera rolling, one of Luke's colleagues said there were some friends looking for him on the roof. At first, Luke couldn’t see anyone he recognized – but one of his colleagues then pointed him in the direction of the two old people sitting in the corner.
