After a handsome “younger” man of 74 unexpectedly falls for her at their “wheelchairs only” assisted living center, a bitter, 93-year-old divorcee must battle her own distrust of men, before accepting love and working to thwart the competition.

How about....

50 years after getting cold feet and leaving her intended at the alter, a head strong, independent woman must deal with her emotions when he's admitted to the same old folks home she currently lives in and starts playing the field.

I could see Jane Fonda, Sally fields, Goldie Hawn, you get the idea, lining up to play this role.

All the male leading mean of the age range would want a call. Jack Nicholson anyone?

I also see this as a comedy with unlimited potential.

>>>you don't have anything to say about their age...

I don't see a problem.? Instead I see a cornucopia spilling over with dramatic opportunities.

For one thing, there will be no lack of elderly actors who would be interested in the roles.? ?Eager to participate because there are so few opportunities for them to play major characters.

To be sure, the love that develops will be more mature, not intoxicating, not hyper-stimulated by the usual suspect hormones that the brains of teens and young adults are saturated with.? But what it lacks in intensity is more than compensated for by depth and breadth, and seasoned by wisdom.? (And I trust the writer discerns this.)

Or as the poet William Butler Yeats put it:

Through all the lying days of my youth
I swayed my leaves and flowers in the sun;
Now I wither into the truth.

All the screenwriting gurus talk about the need for characters to arc to? a "lesson learned" to an "emotional truth".? These two people have "withered" into wheel chairs.? And in the process they have matured/ripened to comprehend and express the ultimate truth about their lives, about all our lives.

>>>They are more interested in seeking love from their family (particularly grand-kids) rather than seeking a new encounter

But what if their kids have dumped them , warehoused them in rest homes until they die?? And rarely visit and get out after putting in their token time?

And here's another major obstacle/ complication to fold into the story:? when the heirs to the woman's estate find out about the romance, they try to sabotage it because of the legal implications.? ?To wit,? they won't get their full share of her estate.? Or any at all if there is no pre-nuptial agreement or if she writes him into her will and her kids and grandkids out.

There's enough conflict right there to fill out the entire 3rd act.

This is a story well worth telling.? A script that that??must?to be written.
