IMHO, a good logline triggers the imagination. Maybe not with same story ideas you have in mind. But it gets other minds cooking with ideas and curious to know what you’ve come up with.
The above, more than any other variation you’ve posted to date, gets my mind cooking.
I think you have the basic ingredients — now to figure out a winning recipe and bake the cake.
So keep cooking the concept and if a recipe flops, well, one of my favorite writing quotes is from John Lasseter, executive producer of most of Pixars ‘flops’: “Be wrong as fast as you can.”
Regards and best wishes.

Anyway, your premise generates all kinds of comedic choices. IMHO you’ve got a premise with an genuine hook.
