Becky Chapman/Elisse Rogers
After learning his babysitter Rachel Chapman's prom was canceled, 7-year-old Curtis Rogers was still determined to give her the ultimate high school experience, staging a prom in his backyard.
With help from his mom. Curtis put together a day of dinner (their favorite after-school snack: peanut butter and apples served as the appetizer) and dancing with Rachel, with the North Carolina pair even sporting a prom dress and tuxedo.
"She has become a part of our family...he absolutely adores her," Elissa Rogers, Curtis' non, told Good Morning America. "She's a just great person with good heart so it's been a blessing to have her helping us out with Curtis."
Rachel, 17, who had been baby-sitting Curtis part-time for over a year when the coronavirus outbreak occurred, said of the mini-prom, "I was so surprised. I had no idea he was going to go all out. It was very thoughtful and sweet."
