Anna Kendrick turns to Twitter for manly help, Kellan Lutz responds

Sometimes you just have to be willing to ask for a little help.

Anna Kendrick is a proudly independent woman, but that doesn't mean she can't enlist the assistance of a strapping man when the situation dictates. Take, for example, this household emergency revealed by Kendrick in a tweet Monday.

"Hi, I'm Anna, I'm alone tonight and I'm looking for a strapping muscular man to come over because butternut squash is hard to dice," she tweeted, followed by a series of kissy faces.

Whether her pleas for help were authentic or not, she managed to get a response -- and an appropriately muscular one, at that -- from fellow "Twilight" alum Kellan Lutz, who responded with, "Hi, Anna. What kind of knife do you have?"

Such a gentleman. No word yet on the state of Kendrick's knife drawer, though.
