Daniel, a recent college graduate student, is on his way home for the Christmas holiday from his new job. He gets caught in a snowstom and is taken in by an elderly couple, who provided him with food and shelter. After the snowplows cleared the road, Daniel proceeds home. Daniel's father, Fred, is most appreciative of the elderly couple's action and in a letter, promises to pay them $500. The elderly couple, in need of funds, accept Fred's offer. Then, because of a dispute between Daniel and Fred, Fred refuses to pay the couple the $500. Can the couple hold Fred liable in contract for the services rendered to Daniel?
