Rob McElhenney wants to cast teen booted from prom on 'It's Always Sunny'

Harrisburg junior says she was kicked out of dance because of suit

After getting kicked out of her prom for wearing a suit, Aniya Wolf may be going to Hollywood, so to speak.

Wolf, a junior at Bishop McDevitt High School in Harrisburg, told WHTM-TV earlier in May she's a lesbian and she was booted from her school dance because she wore a suit. The school said parents were aware of the dress code, which requires all girls to wear a formal dress.

Her story went viral, even drawing props from Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney, who said, "I love your suit!"

Now, it's Philly native and "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" creator Rob McElhenney who is showing Wolf some love — and a casting request.

McElhenney took to Twitter Tuesday asking Wolf to make an appearance on his FXX comedy series. Wolf thought he must be joking, but "Mac" was serious (h/t BillyPenn):

Aniya, I love your suit. Would u like to wear it on Sunny? https://t.co/jn01iLrZVe via abc27News

@AniyaWolf @abc27News I am not. We'll be in Philly the last week of June. We need a little extra style and class. Can you help us?
