Tell her to sign up for amateur night at the strip club

The blackmailer informs you that Sunday nights are amateur night at Classified Gentlemen's Club. After much protest by you and a reminder by the blackmailer of who holds all of the cards you reluctantly agree to tell Ashley to go sign-up for amateur night. You also decide to use the opportunity of anonymous communication with your daughter to find out some information.

You: Good morning.

Ashley: I did what you asked and replaced all of my clothes. What do you want now?

You: Where are you?

Ashley: Sitting in my car outside of my house hiding from my Mom.

You: Good. Tell me Ashley, have you ever had sex?

Ashley: No.

You: Why not?

Ashley: I’ve wanted to, but I haven’t met anyone I’ve liked enough.

You’re actually surprised. For some reason, you’d always assumed she’d had sex with a boy she was dating and brought home a few times.

You: So you’ve only masturbated?

Ashley: Yes.

You: And have you put anything else in yourself other than that cucumber.

Ashley: Yes. Markers, the end of the plunger, once my Mom’s dildo, but I felt weird about it.

You: How do you feel about being naked in front of other people?

Ashley: Not super comfortable.

You: I'm going to help you get comfortable. Seeing as you're already dressed in stripper clothes go to Classified and tell them you want to sign up for amateur night tonight. Text me the time you're scheduled to go on.

Ashley: I CAN'T DO THAT!

You: Sure you can. Just imagine when you were a little girl taking dance lessons. Pretend you're at a recital and performing your little heart out.

There's a long pause.

Ashley: How do you know I took dance lessons when I was younger?

Whoops. You'll need to be more careful about how you encourage her.

You: It was just a guess. Most little girls with good parents take dance lessons when they're little. Anyway, you don't really have a choice, do you?

Ashley: No, I guess not.

You: It'll be fun.

Ashley: Whatever. I'll send you my scheduled time. Bye.

You hear Ashley's car start and back out of the driveway. Your little girl is on her way to sign up to be a stripper.

You send a note to your blackmailer that she was on her way to sign-up. The blackmailer writes back almost immediately.

"Good. I hope you have your schedule cleared because you're going to go watch her strip. Classified is a dark club, so you shouldn't have a problem sitting in the back of the room without her noticing. You should probably try to disguise yourself.

"I know you're probably thinking about writing me back telling me it's too dangerous or that you don't want to see your daughter strip, but remember you don't have a choice. If you say no, I won't ruin your life by exposing your secrets, this time, but your wife will receive an anonymous message about her daughter being at a strip club."

You were afraid that's where this was going. If you refuse and Melissa is alerted to Ashley being at the strip club it'll be devastating for the both of them. Ashley might reveal she's being blackmailed and that would make things very complicated for you. If Ashley doesn't make that admission it could drive a deeper wedge between the mother and daughter. Of course, if you do go and don't find a good enough disguise Ashley could see you and it would be difficult to convince her that it was simply a coincidence, right?

You spend the next couple of hours running the various scenarios through your head. Eventually, you receive a text from Ashley: "10 p.m."
