Your Character
Aubrey is one of your character's love interests and co-workers. He stands up for you against Ellen in Chapter 1. In this same chapter you can choose to go with him to a cafeteria where you play guessing other people's backgrounds. In Chapter 2, he drives you home if you choose the premium option and tells you about the film he's writing. He asks your help for the ending and the film's title. In Chapter 5, Your Character calls him elegant and total prince. She also remarks how there's a real Kennedy vibe to him. In Chapter 7, if you decide to go with him to find the candles, you can choose to flirt with him. If you tell him that you're keeping your eye on someone, he says he is too. (If you haven't had any romance with him before, you tell him about the one you do have your eye on and he comment on that.) If you tell him you're all over the place, he says he doesn't mind the competition; he also says (as points in his favor against said competition) that he has a 401K and that he can dance. If you say you're single and focused on your career, he tells you that his siblings are always trying to set him up but he knows what you mean. He isn't sure if he could give a hundred percent to a person because his job is demanding. In Chapter 8, if you choose to go hot air balloon riding with him after your emu story, you have the option to kiss him for the first time.

Alec Burdock
Alec is Aubrey's boss. When Alec orders him to search for candles in a supply closet and says he will need a ladder to reach them (in the dark), Aubrey remembers his job interview. He was asked by Alec if he was willing to do anything but at the time, he thought Alec was simply being dramatic.
