Jess and Ash met when they were just six years old, bonding over endless games of cards and bike rides. They've shared adventures (and a few memorable trips), along with a lasting love for Hello Kitty, miniature items, and alien friendship bracelets.
Maria and Ash met while working at Optus when they were just 18. Maria came over so frequently that she ended up moving in unofficially, sharing Ash’s bed for a whole year before making it official with their very own apartment. They've spent countless weekends at music festivals and bonded over a mutual love for cruskits, avocado, and ham—though they'll forever debate whether mushrooms are delicious or terrible.
Ash met Taryn when they were 19 when Taryn moved in after befriending Freya during study abroad. They quickly discovered a shared talent for lovingly insulting each other. Since then, they've traveled together and spent weeks at a time hanging out. They bond over their mutual love for music and long nights around the fire pit.
Ash met Fanny not long after moving to Chicago, making her one of her very first friends in the city. They've spent countless nights falling asleep to corny movies, swapping takeout recommendations, and navigating life one couch hang at a time. Fanny’s the proud godmother of Sir Archibald—and one of the most reliable, ride-or-die people you could ever hope to have in your corner.
