Akosua Busia let fans know that her Valentine was no other than her look-alike daughter, Hadar Busia-Singleton, who looked gorgeous in the images and clips her mom displayed.

The images shared on Busia's Instagram page came in the form of a slide show with Hadar flaunting her goofy side. The montage presented Hadar rocking rabbit-ears headband over her braids.

Her face was done in spotless makeup as she seemingly filmed herself from inside a car. The camera soon shifted to show another image of her during an ABC exclusive interview.

Hadar mouthed words from the interview carrying off a hilarious tone while her mom labeled her "Mama's silly rabbit." Busia sweetly captioned her post:
