Aly Oliver, a college student at the University of Colorado at Boulder, went viral on TikTok after documenting her attempts to set her mother up with her professor during a Zoom call.

Oliver, after hearing her mom refer to her professor as "a babe," resolved to attend virtual office hours — allowing her mother to "interrupt" for a chat with the professor.

After the video received 5 million views in one day, Oliver reached out to her professor to confess the scheme.

Ultimately, the professor allowed her to keep the video posted as long as she promised to write her next paper about TikTok and intellectual-property rights. She says she plans to include her mother's cellphone number at the bottom of the paper.

Aly Oliver, a college student at the University of Colorado at Boulder, is a devoted daughter — and her most recent act of devotion has earned her viral fame.

Last week, Oliver made an attempt to set up her single mother with one of her college professors over Zoom. She documented the scheme in a TikTok video, which has racked up 9 million views in under a week.

"My mom started crushing on my professor during quarantine," she captioned the first clip in the video.

"Oh my God, that guy is a babe!" Oliver's mother said as she peered over her daughter's shoulder to look at the professor.

"So I decided to go on his office hours so she could 'accidentally' walk in," Oliver captioned the second frame of the video, in which she wrote that her mother promised to get her "an A in that class."

The video then cut to a clip of Oliver's mother practicing her "accidental" interruption on the call.

In the final clip, Oliver films herself chatting with her professor via Zoom, reminding him that her parents were divorced so she's staying in two different places during quarantine. Her mother approached and the three proceeded to have a conversation.

In just one day, the video was viewed approximately 5 million times, ultimately doubling its views in a week.

The comments section is filled with support for Oliver's mother and the idea of a mom-professor relationship.

"Ohh I want this for her SO BAD," one commenter wrote.

"Your mom is so bold it's inspiring," another commenter said to the tune of 308,000 likes.

"WHEN SHE WALKED IN WITH A FULL CONTOUR AND HIGHLIGHT BEAT FACE," another marveled.

After the video went viral, Oliver reached out to her professor to notify him of his newfound TikTok fame — and she posted his response email in an Instagram story

While he did not appear thrilled that he'd been secretly recorded, he respected her motivation.

"Hi Aly," the email said, "surreptitiously recording aside, that's [an] endearing thing for a daughter to do for a mother."

The professor went on to say Oliver could leave the video posted to TikTok on the condition that she write a "position statement" for class on issues of intellectual-property rights — "vis a vis TikTok," including her viral video.

For those who missed the Instagram update, Oliver posted a second TikTok video updating her mom's new fans on the situation

Unfortunately, Oliver had little to share about the progression of the relationship in her latest video.

"There's not much, guys — they live in two different states and, quarantine," she said in the video.

She went on to share her reaction to viral fame ("oh, f---, this is so awkward") and the email she sent to her professor promising to take the video down if he felt uncomfortable.

Luckily, she said, he was "so chill" and she is now writing her paper about TikTok.

Still, she remains her mother's loyal wingwoman.

"I'm going to drop my mom's cellphone number at the end of my essay," she said. "Because what do I have to lose."
