Your Character
Your Character meets Avery for the first time when he/she stops by your smoothie shop and interrupts you while you are singing along to the music playing in your earbuds. Avery compliments your singing, and you overhear that Avery is performing that night at a small venue. You can choose to leave your job and go to the concert (premium scene) or continue working and hope you make it on time. If you choose not to go, you miss the concert but run into Avery outside of the venue. Avery offers to drop you home and you accept; he/she also asks if you would like to show him/her around the area (premium scene). If you choose not to, he/she drops you off at your home and invites you to audition for the show "One in a Million". You decide to go and after competing against other hopefuls, Avery picks you as his/her choice to mentor for the week.

In Chapter 3, your rehearsal is rough and Avery worries about you. He/she hopes you would talk to him/her about what is troubling you. Avery says he/she sees a lot of him/herself in you, all the fear, excitement, and hope. In Chapter 6, you have the option of kissing Avery in your music video. If you choose to, your fan count will increase but you are unsure if the kiss meant anything to Avery. In Chapter 7, Avery talks to you about his/her sophomore album and that the record label will not let him/her write any songs. This makes Avery a little insecure and you have the premium option to help him/her with songwriting. After the charity fundraiser, Fiona tells you that Avery asked you to be his/her opening act at Madison Square Garden.
