irresistibility

Cannot be refused

Irresistibility is the quality of being impossible to resist.

Something with irresistibility compels action or surrender—whether it's the irresistibility of a chocolate cake, of a persuasive argument, or of a person's charm: The irresistibility of her smile disarmed everyone in the room.

The word often carries a hint of playful exaggeration.
