Forced to stay at home following a heart attack, a high powered exec realizes he doesn’t know his teenage daughter when she announces she?s pregnant, prompting him to try and reconnect with her and stabilize the family.
I'll take you advice on maybe not including both elements in the logline though

Thanks for your reply. I'm trying to steer clear of the pro-life/pro-choice debate. It's too difficult to sell plus it's too heavy - this is a comedy with dramatic elements.

I’m trying to steer clear of the pro-life/pro-choice debate. It’s too difficult to sell plus it’s too heavy – this is a comedy with dramatic elements. The heart attack prompts him to realize he has a second chance at life – which aligns with his having a second chance with his daughter.
He’s not going to go flip burgers as he’s a CEO. She doesn’t flip burgers either – they’re a wealthy family (nice idea though).
To answer your question “what will he be doing?” – He’ll be f’ing up royally as he tries to fix everything without realizing he’s the one that needs to be fixed. He’s got 3 weeks off work – that’s the time clock; And he’s deluded enough to think he can fix everything in that time frame.
Ultimately he starts out trying to fix the situation. Find out who the guy is who got her pregnant, set him straight, get her to go back to school and go from there – with no regard as to what she wants. Naturally this doesn’t work
He then meets the next door neighbor – a stay at home dad who makes him realize he’s missed out on his daughters life. Using the neighbors advice he works on building a relationship with his daughter.
He then starts trying too hard to make up for lost time, ultimately pushing her away again when he interferes between her and the guy who got her pregnant – making him realize you can’t just suddenly walk in and be a dad.
He then realizes he’s the problem and he has to change his life if he ever wants a proper relationship.
Thats the gist anyway

I think a struggling writer would make for a better character in this instance. Someone who has failed at life is less likely to get the attention and command the respect of others to believe in his paranoid thoughts than someone who is well regarded in the community
