Funny thing is that he could have said no,,, maybe he was bribed somehow?
Isn't part of the story that she contacted his mom for help in tracking him down? I'm sure there was quite a lot of pressure from Ass's side of the family for him to marry her as a way of correcting his "mistake," too. Be careful what you wish for...
Assa as her job coach?

He’ll be trying to tell others how to do their job. This is a man that says he can’t do authority, so what is he going to do when they are telling Abbie that she needs to do this and that. If he can’t be in control it won’t work. Is he gonna be behind her breathing heavily with his stomach pressed against her back hand over hand in the coffee shop?
Ass has been hanging on to this idea of special needs employment, and in particular a coffee shop, for a while new...at least since they went to a Bitty & Beau's on one of their trips (maybe the solo trip he and Priss took to New Orleans?) but possibly earlier. He's mentioned wanting to open one in Jacksonville, talked about it being a possible job for Abbie in the same way he obsessed over the idea of a t-shirt business, and of course we all saw how he intended to market SelfieWRLD as employing people with special needs during the initial rollout. He's very Monkey See Monkey Do with these things...he spots an a job that fits his picture of the Wholesome Autism Daughter walking on the beach with her therapy dog, and suddenly he wants Abbie to be a part of it.
So I wonder if some small part of this sees Abbie "volunteering" at this coffee shop not as a foot in the door for Abbie, but as a foot in the door for
him. He probably has dreams of busting into this place and wowing them with his ability to teach his daughter, his expertise on autism, and his revolutionary business acumen ("Profit Fir$t"). I wouldn't be surprised if he has designs on eventually being part of the ownership. After all, he and Priss are pillars of the local business community and award-winning special needs parents. Who could refuse a buyout from them?
