However, unbeknownst to Laura, an unexpected challenger emerges, a modest, skilled, 10-year-old African American woman named Destiny (Yara Shahidi), who has actually just been cultivated by a white regional couple, the Emmets.
Main EventsDestiny's exceptional butter-sculpting skill becomes obvious and postures a major threat to Laura's desire for success.
