Matilda recently reached out to Niles unexpectedly, indicating her interest in dating American men. However, her arrival in Niles’ life came with a sense of urgency; she began pressuring him to marry her during his initial trip to Africa, which raised serious red flags for him. Additionally, Matilda’s challenging living situation with her family painted a portrait that suggested she may have ulterior motives for her interest in Niles. To him, it seemed as if she was potentially exploiting his affection and seeking a way to move to the U.S.

Matilda made her entrance into the reality TV scene on *90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days* during the fifth episode of its seventh season, aired in September 2024. Wearing a vibrant tie-and-dye dress, she introduced herself to viewers, revealing that she is a 23-year-old from Offinso, Ghana. Matilda shared her life story, including having lived in Offinso her entire life with her mother and five siblings. As a child, she aspired to become a soldier, expressing pride in her community’s discipline.
Despite her dreams, Matilda acknowledged her limited job opportunities in Offinso, where she primarily assisted her mother by selling plantains in the local market. Describing her hometown as “boring,” she lamented the absence of nightlife and dining options. However, the prospect of moving to the U.S. filled her with excitement; she confidently believed her dreams would come true by marrying her “amazing American boyfriend,”Niles.
Niles’ Family’s Disapproval of Matilda
Concerns Regarding Matilda’s Intentions
Compounding these challenges, Niles faced personal struggles, having lost his job shortly before heading to Ghana, which left him without financial stability to support a potential marriage and the associated expenses. Additionally, he wasn’t comfortable with marrying Matilda on this initial trip because of his family’s disapproval. Niles’ family held concerns about her motivations, speculating whether she was trying to exploit his condition, given Niles’ autism.
“There is not a word that I can give you to express how painful it is.”
Niles’ parents were not keen on being featured on *90 Day Fiancé*. When he called to inform them about his intentions to marry Matilda, they firmly stated they could not support the decision, leaving Niles visibly upset. He expressed that all he desired was their approval, saying, *”All I wanted to hear was ‘I am happy for you son.’” * Despite the dissent, Niles remained determined not to let his parents’ doubts overshadow his happiness, having known Matilda for two years.

After learning about his parents’ disapproval, Matilda expressed her concerns about what that meant for her future, asking, *”How am I going to live in your country?” * She emphasized her isolation, noting that she did not know anyone else in the U.S. Despite her awareness of Niles’ family’s skepticism, believing they thought she was a scammer, she argued that since Niles had verified her existence by meeting her in person, they should trust him. As of now, it seems Matilda has yet to make it to the U.S. following the show’s filming.
