meh, it mine be a translation thing but I have a bunch of family that has cute nicknames for each other. Some of my cousins actually do call their littlest sister sissy so ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I started calling my older sister "sissy" last year. I started saying it after hearing the Mowry twins calling each other that. I thought it was funny and it just stuck. LOL.
I was really distract by the use of "sissy" lol, who tf calls their sister that??
