Molly Davis never imagined she would see a billboard with her picture in Times Square, let alone next to one featuring singerOlivia Rodrigo.
But a billboard with Molly’s smile has greeted countless New York City visitors since late December, all thanks to her mother’s quest to help her find a romantic partner — a testament to their incredible bond.

Beth says she’s on a mission to help her daughter find love because time is quite literally of the essence for the Boston-based family — the 61-year-old mom is in a years-long battle withmetastatic breast cancer, which recently spread to other parts of her body.
“There’s been a lot of times where I’ve taken care of her, which has definitely I think just created a stronger dynamic between the two of us — very open and honest,” Molly says of her mom’s cancer journey.

Soon after Beth’s Wingman profile for Molly was posted, it caught the attention of the app’s CEO and founder, Tina Wilson, who reached out to the pair with the idea of the billboard to help accelerate their search.
“When I mentioned it to Beth, I think she thought I was joking,” Wilson recalls to PEOPLE.
About two weeks later, the billboard became a reality.

“I mean, God, she’s like the best wing mom ever,” Wilson says of Beth. “She’s got real spirit.”
Beth says the billboard will stay up until Valentine’s Day. So far, she has received messages from people all over the world who either want to take Molly on a date or express their support.
“My criteria has been I’d like to see her well settled with a great family, someone with lots of family connections, and a large circle of friends that can complement Molly’s circle of friends,” says Beth, who also shares a son with her husband, Rick Davis, 62.

“I’m very hopeful that at the end of the day, I’ll have less worries if Molly is well settled with this nice person that maybe this process finds,” she continues. “Because I would like to think of Molly being able to have all those milestones, even if I’m not here for them.”
