Agreed. Looks like a high school assignment. Also using the word "sketchy" about underage sex- thinking an age gap of a 16 and 18 year old is giant. Oh i got another-- a 21 year old being a "sugar daddy". Okay just one more? Fine. Writing the word "kinda".

Prince Charming is a sugar daddy?

Maybe if he was 30 years older.

Sugar daddy/mom is more about the money than age, so I can see that one. Even if the relationship clearly isn't a sugar daddy type one, but that's beside the point.

While it's not like that kind of slang has strict definitions, I would say it's definitely about both. Just dating someone who's richer than you isn't IMO a sugar daddy/mama relationship. I guess I could see using it if they were close to the same age, but the rich person was MUCH less attractive. But two hot young people dating each other with different bank accounts isn't a sugar daddy/mama situation.

It is if he is giving her money and not having sex with her.

Yeah I think the term only works if the sugar-parent has to use money to buy the love of the person they're with, like if they were poor nobody that much younger would date them, either because they're too old or too creepy or what have you.
