I would like to write this story, but I can't think of how to take it beyond the set up.
The idea:
* The story starts with the sister noticing that his brother is rather depressed for the last week and decides to ask why he is depressed
* The brother is great at a video game. He has been streaming his play for several months. He wants to do that for money rather work at his sucky job, but he hasn't build any audience as he has all the charisma of dirty dishwater
* The sister has always enjoyed watching him play and making sarcastic comments while he played
* The brother is depressed because he finally accepted that he can't make enough money streaming to justify keep doing it
* The sister tries to convince to keep doing it. She volunteers to help him be more appealing while streaming. She watches some streams for ideas. She notices one stream done by a good-looking woman that seems to have a lot of viewers even though she isn't anywhere as good as her brother
* She proposes that he set it up so that it looks like she is playing the game while she is really only commenting on her brother's play
* They stream for 3 hours and make $30, the most he has ever made. She gives him all the money
* They keep streaming and rapidly build an audience. The money starts rolling in. Not insane cash, but far more than they can make at a entry-level job
* And then...I have no clue
