When 3 fatherless girls discover that their favorite pop-star is performing at their school?s father-daughter-only dance, they set out on a crazy mission to find 3 stand-in dads.

The dad’s must be filthy-rich if they can shell out enough $$$,$$$ to have a pop-star appear for a one night gig.? I dunno.
I suggest that for the sake of emotional impact focus on? one girl’s search to adopt a father for the dance, not three.
And, IMHO, the motive is emotionally low-wattage.? And one with rather low stakes.?
For higher wattage in terms of motivation and stakes, I suggest, she MUST go for the most important do-or-die reason for teens:? the overwhelming need to belong, to be part of the peer group.? She? doesn’t want to be the only one in her peer group who can’t go.
And what if, she has an absentee dad who walked out on the family?? She can’t forgive him for that and if she could she’s too embarrassed to be seen in public with the low life.? So she tries to adopt one , but …

There has to be a compelling reason why she NEEDS the shrink,? why she gets impaled on the horns of a dilemma .? PTSD works for me. Or maybe she’s bipolar — that may create? interesting complications in? the 2nd and 3rd Acts.
However, building on mikepedley85’s idea:
What if another hit man gets the job to off her shrink?? But she volunteers to take the job — so she can save him?.? She stalls for time to develop a plan and break the news to him.? And finally the job is given to the guy with a deadline.? Now she must act.
