You're is a contraction of you are. Your is something that the person you are talking to owns. Your sentence is correct.

Your shows possession. You're is a contraction that is short for You Are. "your cousin Cassandra...." would be correct.

You're means you are so if you cannot substitute you are then it cannot be you're. Your shows possession and in this case, your cousin is the correct term. Hope that helps.

It would in fact be "tell your cousin cassandra to scratch my face?" You had it right. :)

your cousin. You're is the contraction You are. Only use it when you could sub "You are" in the sentence.

The correct word is 'your'. By the way, you should use 'my friend and I'.

Your :-)
You're = (you + are) and that doesn't work in this sentence :-)
