A big hug & a kiss on meeting should be a mutually enjoyable thing. The point of the advert, the context that everyone is mad about “they’re family” - exactly. They should know, then, that she doesn’t like it. It’s weird to keep forcing physical contact onto someone if they don’t like it. There are so many ways in this world to greet someone, but a great way to show love to another is to respect their feelings.
