Assuming you're referring to the epithelial lining of an animal that does indeed have cheeks, the cell is eukaryotic because it has a nucleus. Prokaryotic cells have no nucleus.

Why are cheek cells eukaryotic?

Because ALL cells in an animal with different tissue types are eukaryotic. "Eu" means "good" in Greek and so was chosen as the name for OUR kind of creatures - creatures whose cells have a nuclear membrane insulating the DNA in the core of a cell from the outer areas where each cell handles digestion of materials from the outside of the cell and builds the proteins and enzymes that it uses to do its job. So any cell that is a part of you - like your cheek - is eukaryotic because you are a eukaryote.
