A snapshot of this heartfelt contract quickly gained traction on Reddit, capturing the admiration of countless users. People were touched by the sibling’s thoughtfulness, describing the contract as “endearing” and “uplifting.”

“My younger sister composed this agreement because I’m shifting to another city for work,” shared a Reddit user operating under the handle “Due_Performance_6917” in the platform’s “IndiaSocial” community. “She even went as far as making it my phone’s wallpaper so I won’t overlook it,” they added.

According to the outlined terms, the departing sibling is obligated to deposit 0.5% of their earnings into their sister’s account and maintain regular contact by calling her every two to three days. She also mandates that gifts be brought during every home visit and insists on being given “paramount importance” over their pet cat.

In addition to these requests, the younger sister seeks career guidance, asking for assistance in selecting an academic stream for her 12th-grade studies based on her performance in the 10th grade. She further expresses her desire to visit Chennai once she completes high school.

Another individual humorously commented, “Greetings. I am the attorney assigned by your sister, and you must comply with all these stipulations diligently—otherwise, we reserve the right to take legal action against you. Jokes aside, this is the most adorable thing I’ve seen today.”

A third user playfully added, “Prioritizing her over the cat—hilarious! This is absolutely precious.”

The post continues to resonate with many, highlighting the special bond between siblings and the lighthearted yet genuine ways they express love and concern for one another.
