The $SU(2)_L$ triplet scalar with hypercharge $Y=0$ predicts a positivedefinite shift in the $W$ mass, w.r.t.~the Standard Model prediction, if itacquires a vacuum expectation value. As this new field cannot couple directlyto SM fermions (on its own), it has no significant impact on other low-energyprecision observables and is weakly constrained by collider searches. In fact,the multi-lepton anomalies at the LHC even point towards new scalars that decaydominantly to $W$ bosons, as the neutral component of the triplet naturallydoes. In this article, we show that with a minimal extension of the scalartriplet model by a heavy vector-like lepton, being either I) an $SU(2)_L$doublet with $Y=-1/2$ or II) an $SU(2)_L$ triplet with $Y=-1$, couplings of thetriplet to Standard Model leptons are possible. This minimal extension can thenprovide, in addition to the desired positive shift in the $W$ mass, a chirallyenhanced contribution to $(g-2)_\mu$. In addition version I) and II) canimprove on $Z\to\mu^+\mu^-$ and alleviate the tension in first-row CKMunitarity (known as the Cabibbo angle anomaly), respectively. Finally, bothoptions, in general, predict sizable changes of $h\to\mu^+\mu^-$, i.e.,~muchlarger than most other $(g-2)_\mu$ explanations where only $O(\%)$ effects areexpected, making this channel a smoking gun signature of our model.
