Imagine keeping a secret that’s been weighing on you for years. Annie Niu, a known lifestyle influencer, has recently shared a surprising truth with her family. She’d been posing as her deceased twin sister for the past five years, all to protect her grandparents from feeling sad. It all came to light after her grandmother became very sick.

Annie’s dad had suggested the unusual plan. Every holiday, Annie would call her family, pretending to be her twin. Unfortunately, her twin had passed away due to viral meningitis. Annie didn’t want to cause her grandparents any more pain, so she kept up the act.

However, this secret didn’t stay hidden forever. When Annie visited her grandpa recently, she found that all the family photos with her sister were taken down. Her aunts had decided to do this, which made Annie feel sad. Still, her grandpa remains unaware of the truth.

People who watched Annie’s videos on TikTok had mixed reactions. Some felt bad for Annie, hiding such a big secret. Others were confused about why the family would go to such lengths to keep the truth hidden. Some even questioned how the family didn’t notice anything unusual for all those years. A few people joked about Annie playing both twins, like in the movie “The Parent Trap. ”

Despite the strange situation, some viewers understood Annie’s decision. They too had kept secrets from their loved ones to protect them from pain. Annie’s story serves as a reminder that sometimes, people do things with good intentions, even if they appear strange to others.
