Asking small boutique for summer opportunities

I’m currently looking for a summer internship for 2020 and I found an alumni that works at a small boutique IB in NY, who responded to my cold email and said they’d be happy to help. Can I ask directly about working there this summer since its getting kind of late? Or is it bad to be so direct? There’s nowhere on the website that says to apply so I’m not sure how one gets a position anyway.
