ST. LOUIS (KTVI) — This New Year, Katie Wors is taking an unconventional approach to enhance her brother’s love life by placing an ad offering him up for romantic opportunities.

“Initially, I was caught off guard,” said Bryan Watkins, Katie’s brother.

Katie says she has received messages in response to her ad.

“There’s always dating sites, but those are kind of gone the way of I don’t think they’re that effective anymore,” Katie said.

While the outcome of Katie’s bold advertisement remains uncertain, she remains optimistic in Bryan’s quest for happiness and love.
