I feel Alessia was coerced by Jonathan into getting her ears pierced. She looked apprehensive and very anxious about the whole thing. In the car E2 asked her how she felt and if she was excited. She said she was nervous and not excited and she also was self-soothing, what looked like sucking her thumb or putting her fingers in her mouth.
If she wanted to get her ears done of her own accord she would of been more excited and enthusiastic, despite being nervous, which is perfectly normal, but it just seemed watching the vlog she was totally talked into it and was convinced to, prior. And, knowing how Jonathan is, he would of tried selling it to her in days or weeks before, by telling her she would get rewarded with some gifts, hence going into the jewllery/gift shop and taken to starbucks afterwards.
I felt the whole thing was sold to her by Jonathan so he could get another "first time" video out of another one of his kids.
And the other really infuriating thing, too, is he is now going to be putting out 2 youtube videos a week on his channel, which will ramp up even more work for the kids, already heavy filming schedule making content/rehearsing he makes them do, on all his other social media platforms. It's ludicrous!
Also, where was Anna? Why didn't she go, too. She went with Emilia when she went to get her ears pierced for the first time, why not Alessia?! Oh that's right... she would of been having cake and coffee with Matt. Alessia is way down the pecking order on Anna's list of importance, if at all.
