In the viral clip which has over 163,200 views and 14,100 likes, the dad instructed his little sister to hail down the taxi.

He can be heard saying: “Quick, do it he’s coming, Alexa. You have to do it, good girl.”

Her proud brother said: “Yay, good woman Alexa, well done!

“This is what you call ‘the Alexa beg’”.
