Japan mum-daughter duo run maid cafe; woman reveals she gave birth at 14, triggers debate
‘Best friends’ share fashion and beauty trends together as they run business, mother tells of tough teenage pregnancy
A mother and daughter duo who runs a maid cafe together in Japan has gone viral after the woman revealed she gave birth at the age of 14.
A video about their relationship has attracted more than 12 million views.
The pair co-own a maid-themed cafe, which brought the daughter’s dream to life.
Yuka, 37, told the Japanese media outlet Oricon News that she and her 23-year-old daughter share such a close bond that it feels like they are best friends, despite the tough start when her daughter was born.
Yuka said that due to her irregular periods, she did not realise she was pregnant at 13 until her belly began to grow, prompting her to confirm it with a test.
“I did not know what to do. I felt anxious every morning,” she said.
