Actually, Ruby does live with her aunt and uncle, and her uncle was worried about whether her dad would show up at all (she had organised the event as a way of trying to get close to him), and was prepared to step into the breech. Her dad did let her down - at first it seemed like he wasn't going to show at all, and then he arrived with two scantily-clad showgirls in tow to dance for her not with her.

I don't imagine there being much of a fandom - abc family show that is RUBBISH, and already cancelled. Though I shall have a look.
